Getting url

Without doing any specific research, I would guess that you are  
accessing a dynamically updated page, such that the first <html>...</ 
html> block received by Rev is just the basic info sent by the map  
server.  As the page is downloaded, commands are issued to get more  
info, and the browser continues to fill in details.

The quickest way that I know of is to try a different service that  
does not use a 'progressive download' technique.  Otherwise you will  
need to use a browser that fills the page, then get the info from the  
browser DOM or javascript variables.  On a Mac, you could use Safari  
and Applescript... but this is very messy.  Far too much hassle for a  
bit of info.

Try mapquest, or AAA, or even USPS zip lookup.

Hope this helps.
