[SalesForce] How to fetch record id using Salesforce instance URL address

I have VF page and placed that in home side bar component page and I am capturing the Salesforce instance URL from visual force using custom controller.

public String getReferer()
{ 
    BrowserURL = ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('referer'); 
    return browserURL;
}

Now I want to fetch recorded id using Salesforce instance URL in VF page.

How can I get record id using that URL. Eg:
I am getting Salesforce browser URL like: https://ap1.salesforce.com/0019000000GJMHG
using this URL How can I get Salesforce record id through controller and display the record id in VF page. Like : Record Id: 0019000000GJMHG Can anyone please help me to overcome this issue?

I guess you can use the string methods now to pull the ID.

BrowserURL=BrowserURL.right(15);//Pull from right the 15 digit Id

If your org is not update to winter 13 then you can use String.Split('/') and get the last array element value .
