We use Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) to get the domain part of the site. This served our requirement on http. We recently change site to https (about 3 days ago) but this still returns with http://.. Urls were all changed to https and show in browser address bar.

Any idea why this happens?

The following example works fine and returns a string with "https":

var uri = new Uri("https://www.google.com/?q=102njgn24gk24ng2k");
var authority = uri.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority);
// authority => "https://www.google.com"

You either have an issue with the HttpContext class right here, or all your requests are still using http:

  1. You can check the requests HttpContext.Current.Request.IsSecureConnection property. If it is true, and the GetLeftPart method still returns http for you, I think you won't get around a replacing here.
  2. If all your requests are really coming with http, you might enforce a secure connection in IIS.

You should also inspect the incoming URL and log it somewhere for debugging purposes.
