req.url.dirname
STRING, read-only.
Available inall subroutines.
The directories specified in a URL. This will be from the beginning of the URL up to the last /, not including the query string.
Any trailing slash is stripped. That is, the last / will not be part of req.url.dirname unless req.url.dirname is / (the root directory).
The slash after a directory is required. For example with a URL path of /xyz/abc?xyz the abc part is considered a filename (see req.url.basename) and the value of req.url.dirname will be /xyz.
The directory name is given as / when the directory is absent entirely. For example with a request www.example.com/hello.html, req.url.dirname will be /.
Examples
In the request www.example.com/1/hello.gif?foo=bar, req.url.dirname will be /1.
In the request www.example.com/5/inner/hello.gif?foo=bar, req.url.dirname will be /5/inner.
