Control arduino with HTTP requests

I have a door knob with a remote keyfob that I've attached to my Arduino, now I'd like to be able to send GET (or POST) requests over the internet to my Arduino from an Android App to make it unlock/lock the door. I basically need help getting the arduino to understand that the client accessing it's webserver is trying to execute GET /unlock or GET /lock and then it needs to obviously give a response and then set a pin to HIGH and the back to LOW.

Any assistance in getting the parsing of web requests done would be greatly appreciated! :grin:

Below is some simple code that should be able to be operated from a web enabled cell phone.

//zoomkat 9-5-11
//simple button GET with iframe code
//for use with IDE 0021
//open serial monitor to see what the arduino receives
//use the \ slash to escape the " in the html 
//address will look like http://192.168.1.102:84/ when submited
//for use with W5100 based ethernet shields

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED }; //physical mac address
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 1, 102 }; // ip in lan
byte gateway[] = { 192, 168, 1, 1 }; // internet access via router
byte subnet[] = { 255, 255, 255, 0 }; //subnet mask
Server server(84); //server port

String readString; 

//////////////////////

void setup(){

  pinMode(4, OUTPUT); //pin selected to control
  //start Ethernet
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, subnet);
  server.begin();

  //enable serial data print 
  Serial.begin(9600); 
  Serial.println("servertest1"); // so I can keep track of what is loaded
}

void loop(){
  // Create a client connection
  Client client = server.available();
  if (client) {
    while (client.connected()) {
      if (client.available()) {
        char c = client.read();

        //read char by char HTTP request
        if (readString.length() < 100) {

          //store characters to string 
          readString += c; 
          //Serial.print(c);
        } 

        //if HTTP request has ended
        if (c == '\n') {

          ///////////////
          Serial.println(readString); //print to serial monitor for debuging 

          //now output HTML data header
             if(readString.indexOf('?') >=0) { //don't send new page
               client.println("HTTP/1.1 204 Zoomkat");
               client.println();
               client.println();  
             }
             else {
          client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK"); //send new page
          client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
          client.println();

          client.println("<HTML>");
          client.println("<HEAD>");
          client.println("<TITLE>Arduino GET test page</TITLE>");

          client.println("<a href=\"/?on\" target=\"inlineframe\">ON</a>"); 
          client.println("<a href=\"/?off\" target=\"inlineframe\">OFF</a>"); 

          //client.println("<IFRAME name=inlineframe src=\"res://D:/WINDOWS/dnserror.htm\" width=1 height=1\">");
          client.println("<IFRAME name=inlineframe style=\"display:none\" >");          
          client.println("</IFRAME>");

             }

          delay(1);
