if you just want the part between http:// and the first slash
string url = Request.Url.Host;
would return stackoverflow.com if called from this page
Here's the complete breakdown
I guess its enough to return absolute path..
Path.GetFileName( Request.Url.AbsolutePath )
using System.IO;
If you want to get
localhost:2806
from
http://localhost:2806/Pages/
then use:
HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority
A search landed me at this page, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for. Posting here in case someone else looking for what I was lands at this page too.
There is two ways to do it if you only have a string value.
.NET way:
Same as @Canavar, but you can instantiate a new Uri Object
String URL = "http://localhost:1302/TESTERS/Default6.aspx";
System.Uri uri = new System.Uri(URL);
which means you can use the same methods, e.g.
string url = uri.AbsoluteUri;
// http://localhost:1302/TESTERS/Default6.aspx
string host = uri.host
// localhost
Regex way:
a tip for people who needs the path/url in global.asax file;
If you need to run this in global.asax > Application_Start and you app pool mode is integrated then you will receive the error below:
Request is not available in this context exception in Application_Start.
In that case you need to use this:
System.Web.HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppVirtualPath
Hope will help others..
Just sharing as this was my solution thanks to Canavar's post.
If you have something like this:
"http://localhost:1234/Default.aspx?un=asdf&somethingelse=fdsa"
or like this:
"https://www.something.com/index.html?a=123&b=4567"
and you only want the part that a user would type in then this will work:
String strPathAndQuery = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.PathAndQuery;
String strUrl = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.Replace(strPathAndQuery, "/");
which would result in these:
"http://localhost:1234/"
"https://www.something.com/"
the request.rawurl will gives the content of current page it gives the exact path that you required
use HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl
Try this :
string url = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;
// http://localhost:1302/TESTERS/Default6.aspx
string path = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath;
// /TESTERS/Default6.aspx
string host = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host;
// localhost
You may at times need to get different values from URL.
Below example shows different ways of extracting different parts of URL
EXAMPLE: (Sample URL)
http://localhost:60527/WebSite1test/Default2.aspx?QueryString1=1&QueryString2=2
CODE
Response.Write("<br/> " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host);
Response.Write("<br/> " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority);
Response.Write("<br/> " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Port);
Response.Write("<br/> " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath);
Response.Write("<br/> " + HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath);
Response.Write("<br/> " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri);
Response.Write("<br/> " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.PathAndQuery);
OUTPUT
localhost
localhost:60527
60527
/WebSite1test/Default2.aspx
/WebSite1test
http://localhost:60527/WebSite1test/Default2.aspx?QueryString1=1&QueryString1=2
/WebSite1test/Default2.aspx?QueryString1=1&QueryString2=2
You can copy paste above sample code & run it in asp.net web form application with different URL.
I also recommend reading ASP.Net Routing in case you may use ASP Routing then you don't need to use traditional URL with query string.
