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

This extension works for me:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;

    public static class HttpRequestExtensions
    {
        public static string GetRawUrl(this HttpRequest request)
        {
            var httpContext = request.HttpContext;
            return $"{httpContext.Request.Scheme}://{httpContext.Request.Host}{httpContext.Request.Path}{httpContext.Request.QueryString}";
        }
    }
