How do I get the current absolute URL in Ruby on Rails?

Question

How can I get the current absolute URL in my Ruby on Rails view?

The request.request_uri only returns the relative URL

Answer 1

For Rails 3.2 or Rails 4 Simply get in this way "request.original_url" Reference: Original URL Method

For Rails 3 As request.url is deprecated.We can get absolute path by concatenating

"#{request.protocol}#{request.host_with_port}#{request.fullpath}"

For Rails 2

request.url
