Get just the domain name from a URL?

Question

I am trying to extract just the domain name from a URL string. I almost have it... I am using URI

I have a string.. my first thought was to use Regex but then i decided to use URI class

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAgQFjAA&url=http://www.test.com/&rct=j&q=test&ei=G2phS-HdJJWTjAfckvHJDA&usg=AFQjCNFSEAztaqtkaIvEzxmRm2uOARn1kQ

I need to convert the above to google.com and google without the www

I did the following

Uri test = new Uri(referrer);
log.Info("Domain part : " + test.Host);

Basically this returns www.google.com .... i would like to try and return 2 forms if possible... as mentioned...

google.com and google

Is this possible with URI?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible use:

Uri.GetLeftPart( UriPartial.Authority )
