Get current list/library from http handler

Question

I’m trying to write a Http Handler to generate rss xml (based on the CKS code).

I want to be able to get the list/library that the end point of the url is referring to.

For example if my Url is:

• http://example.org/pressreleases/pages/rss.xml

I want to be able to get the pages library of the 'press releases' web.

On a side note if I'm going about this in the wrong way please let me know.

Update 1

It may be easier for me to show my code (incase of retardation)

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {

        try
        {
            SPList list = SPContext.Current.Web.GetListFromUrl(context.Request.Path);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            context.Response.Write("Error getting list from spcontext.current.web.GetListFromUrl: " + ex.Message + "<br />");
        }

        try
        {
            SPList list = SPContext.Current.List;
            context.Response.Write("List title: " + list.Title.ToString() + "<br />");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            context.Response.Write("Error getting list from spcontext.current.list: " + ex.Message + "<br />");
        }

        try
        {
            context.Response.Write("List Title from SPConext: " + SPContext.Current.List.Title.ToString());
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            context.Response.Write("Error getting list from spcontext.current.list.title.tostring: " + ex.Message + "<br />");                
        }

    }

The error messages displayed are...

• Error getting list from spcontext.current.web.GetListFromUrl: Cannot complete this action. Please try again.
• Error getting list from spcontext.current.list: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
• Error getting list from spcontext.current.list.title.tostring: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Answer 1

I've managed to get the list name by string manipulation.

Answer 2

You have access to SPContext within a HTTP handler, so you should be able to use:

SPContext.Current.List

If for some reason that can't be used, this should get you there:

SPContext.Current.Web.GetListFromUrl()
