Get raw URL from Microsoft.AspNet.Http.HttpRequest

Question

The HttpRequest class in Asp.Net 5 (vNext) contains (amongst other things) parsed details about the URL for the request, such as Scheme, Host

Answer 1

Add the Nuget package / using:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Extensions; 

(In ASP.NET Core RC1 this was in Microsoft.AspNet.Http.Extensions)

then you can get the full http request url by executing:

var url = httpContext.Request.GetEncodedUrl();

or

var url = httpContext.Request.GetDisplayUrl();

depending on the purposes.
