indexOf help

I have an UNO with and ethernet shield and i'm using it as a web server. I'm trying to determine if the requested URL contains the words "warm" or "cool". I'm appending the results of client.read() to a string and then trying to use indexOf() on it. Here's part of my code. I'm putting the word "warm" into my url but it never turns the 'mode' variable to "warm". I'm thinking maybe indexOf is being thrown off because it might contain '\n' or '\r' but that's a complete guess. Anybody know what's going on here?

      while (client.connected()) {
        if (client.available()) {
          char c = client.read();
          
          //cast c to a string so we can append it 
          Cc = String(c);
          
          requestString += Cc;

         if (c == '\n' && currentLineIsBlank) {
            
            Serial.print(requestString);
            //try to get mode('cool' or 'warm') from request string
            if(requestString.indexOf("warm") >=0){
              mode = "Warm"; 
            }
            if(requestString.indexOf("cool") >=0){
              mode = "Cool"; 
            }
}

The advice is, don't use the string class on arduino, because it has bugs in it.

The first thing to do, would be to send your string back to the serial monitor on the pc,
to see if it actually has in it, what you think is in it.

Simple indexof code.

//zoomkat 4-1-12
//simple button GET for servo and pin 5
//for use with IDE 1.0
//open serial monitor to see what the arduino receives
//use the \ slash to escape the " in the html, or use ' instead of " 
//address will look like http://192.168.1.102:84 when submited
//for use with W5100 based ethernet shields

byte subnet[] = { 255, 255, 255, 0 }; //subnet mask
EthernetServer server(84); //server port
