How can I get the baseurl of site

Question

I want to write a little helper method which returns the base URL of the site  This is what I came up with   public static string GetSiteUrl         string url   string Empty      HttpRequest request   HttpContext Current Request       if  request IsSecureConnection          url    https          else         url    http           url    request  HTTP HOST               return url      Is there any mistake in this  that you can think of  Can anyone improve upon this

The popular GetLeftPart solution is not supported in the PCL version of Uri  unfortunately  GetComponents is  however  so if you need portability  this should do the trick   uri GetComponents      UriComponents SchemeAndServer   UriComponents UserInfo  UriFormat Unescaped

Based on what Warlock wrote  I found that the virtual path root is needed if you aren t hosted at the root of your web   This works for MVC Web API controllers   String baseUrl   Request RequestUri GetLeftPart UriPartial Authority     Configuration VirtualPathRoot

I believe that the answers above doesn t consider when the site is not in the root of the website    This is a for WebApi controller    string baseUrl    Url Request RequestUri GetComponents                      UriComponents SchemeAndServer  UriFormat Unescaped  TrimEnd                          HttpContext Current Request ApplicationPath  TrimEnd

To me   warlock s looks like the best answer here so far  but I ve always used this in the past   string baseUrl   Request Url GetComponents      UriComponents SchemeAndServer  UriFormat UriEscaped       Or in a WebAPI controller   string baseUrl   Url Request RequestUri GetComponents      UriComponents SchemeAndServer  UriFormat Unescaped    which is handy so you can choose what escaping format you want  I m not clear why there are two such different implementations  and as far as I can tell  this method and  warlock s return the exact same result in this case  but it looks like GetLeftPart   would also work for non server Uri s like mailto tags for instance

This works for me   Request Url OriginalString Replace Request Url PathAndQuery        Request ApplicationPath     Request Url OriginalString  return the complete path same as browser showing  Request Url PathAndQuery  return the  complete path  -  domain name   PORT   Request ApplicationPath  return     on hosted server and  application name  on local IIS deploy    So if you want to access your domain name do consider to include the application name in case of    IIS deployment   If your application deployed on the sub-domain                                          For the dev x us web  it return this strong text

you could possibly add in the port for non port 80 SSL   something like   if  HttpContext Current Request ServerVariables  SERVER PORT      null  amp  amp  HttpContext Current Request ServerVariables  SERVER PORT   ToString       80   amp  amp  HttpContext Current Request ServerVariables  SERVER PORT   ToString       443                                 port   String Concat      HttpContext Current Request ServerVariables  SERVER PORT   ToString                     and use that in the final result
