Request.Url.Host and ApplicationPath in one call

Marcus L picture Marcus L · Mar 27, 2009 · Viewed 74.2k times · Source

Is there any way to get HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host and HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath in one call?

Something like "full application url"?

EDIT: Clarification - what I need is this the part within []:

http://[www.mysite.com/mywebapp]/Pages/Default.aspx

I ask simply out of curiosity.

EDIT 2: Thanks for all the replies, but none of them were exactly what I was looking for. FYI, I solved the problem this way (but am still interested in knowing if there's a smoother way):

public string GetWebAppRoot()
{
    if(HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath == "/")
        return "http://" + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host;
    else
        return "http://" + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host + HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath;
}

public static string GetSiteRoot()
{
  string port = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_PORT"];
  if (port == null || port == "80" || port == "443")
    port = "";
  else
    port = ":" + port;

  string protocol = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_PORT_SECURE"];
  if (protocol == null || protocol == "0")
    protocol = "http://";
  else
    protocol = "https://";

  string sOut = protocol + System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_NAME"] + port + System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath;

  if (sOut.EndsWith("/"))
  {
    sOut = sOut.Substring(0, sOut.Length - 1);
  }

  return sOut;
}
