{
    string ur         


        

Answer 1

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('/') ;
