I am running an HTTP server which serves a bitmap according to the dimensions in the browser URL i.e localhost://image_x120_y30.bmp. My server is running in infinite loop and I want to get the URL any time user requests for BITMAP, and at the end I can extract the image dimensions from the URL.

The question asked here:
