Logging 404 errors

[JoshoB]

Greetings! I have what I hope is a simple question. How do I retrieve the original URL when ProcessWire throws a 404 Error? Specifically, I want to log which URLs lead to a 404, but at present it seems that URLs that cannot be found are redirected to the 404 page behind the scenes, with no obvious way (for me) to retrieve the URL that the user originally requested.

Thanks in advance!

don't know if you can find something useful here, but it sounds like you can grab some code or ideas about 404:
