Get the exact url the user typed into the browser

Question

I would like to get the exact url that user typed into the browser. Of course I could always use something like Request.Url.ToString() but this does not give me

Answer 1

It is possible, you just need to combining a few of the values from the request object to rebuild the exact url entered:

Dim pageUrl As String = String.Format("{0}://{1}{2}", 
    Request.Url.Scheme, 
    Request.Url.Host, 
    Request.RawUrl)

Response.Write(pageUrl)

Entering the address http://yousite.com/?hello returns exactly:

http://yousite.com/?hello
