What's the best method in ASP.NET to obtain the current domain?
asp.netasp.net MvcDomain Nameasp.net Problem Overview
I am wondering what the best way to obtain the current domain is in ASP.NET?
For instance:
http://www.domainname.com/subdir/ should yield http://www.domainname.com http://www.sub.domainname.com/subdir/ should yield http://sub.domainname.com
As a guide, I should be able to add a url like "/Folder/Content/filename.html" (say as generated by Url.RouteUrl() in ASP.NET MVC) straight onto the URL and it should work.

Solution 1 - asp.net
Same answer as MattMitchell's but with some modification. This checks for the default port instead.
> Edit: Updated syntax and using Request.Url.Authority
as suggested
$"{Request.Url.Scheme}{System.Uri.SchemeDelimiter}{Request.Url.Authority}"
Solution 2 - asp.net
As per this link a good starting point is:
Request.Url.Scheme + System.Uri.SchemeDelimiter + Request.Url.Host
However, if the domain is http://www.domainname.com:500 this will fail.
Something like the following is tempting to resolve this:
int defaultPort = Request.IsSecureConnection ? 443 : 80;
Request.Url.Scheme + System.Uri.SchemeDelimiter + Request.Url.Host
+ (Request.Url.Port != defaultPort ? ":" + Request.Url.Port : "");
However, port 80 and 443 will depend on configuration.
As such, you should use IsDefaultPort
as in the Accepted Answer above from Carlos Muñoz.

Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority)
This is included scheme.
Solution 4 - asp.net
WARNING! To anyone who uses Current.Request.Url.Host. Understand that you are working based on the CURRENT REQUEST and that the current request will not ALWAYS be with your server and can sometimes be with other servers.
So if you use this in something like, Application_BeginRequest() in Global.asax, then 99.9% of the time it will be fine, but 0.1% you might get something other than your own server's host name.
A good example of this is something I discovered not long ago. My server tends to hit http://proxyjudge1.proxyfire.net/fastenv from time to time. Application_BeginRequest() gladly handles this request so if you call Request.Url.Host when it's making this request you'll get back proxyjudge1.proxyfire.net. Some of you might be thinking "no duh" but worth noting because it was a very hard bug to notice since it only happened 0.1% of the time : P
This bug has forced me to insert my domain host as a string in the config files.
Solution 5 - asp.net
Why not use
Request.Url.Authority
It returns the whole domain AND the port.
You still need to figure http or https
Solution 6 - asp.net
Simple and short way (it support schema, domain and port):
Request.GetFullDomain()
Use // Add this class to your project
public static class HttpRequestExtensions{
public static string GetFullDomain(this HttpRequestBase request)
{
var uri= request?.UrlReferrer;
if (uri== null)
return string.Empty;
return uri.Scheme + Uri.SchemeDelimiter + uri.Authority;
}
}
// Now Use it like this:
Request.GetFullDomain();
// Example output: https://example.com:5031
// Example output: http://example.com:5031
Solution 7 - asp.net
How about:
NameValueCollection vars = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables;
string protocol = vars["SERVER_PORT_SECURE"] == "1" ? "https://" : "http://";
string domain = vars["SERVER_NAME"];
string port = vars["SERVER_PORT"];
Solution 8 - asp.net
Another way:
string domain;
Uri url = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url;
domain= url.AbsoluteUri.Replace(url.PathAndQuery, string.Empty);
Solution 9 - asp.net
In Asp.Net Core 3.1 if you want to get a full domain, here is what you need to do:
Step 1: Define variable
private readonly IHttpContextAccessor _contextAccessor;
Step 2: DI into the constructor
public SomeClass(IHttpContextAccessor contextAccessor)
{
_contextAccessor = contextAccessor;
}
Step 3: Add this method in your class:
private string GenerateFullDomain()
{
string domain = _contextAccessor.HttpContext.Request.Host.Value;
string scheme = _contextAccessor.HttpContext.Request.Scheme;
string delimiter = System.Uri.SchemeDelimiter;
string fullDomainToUse = scheme + delimiter + domain;
return fullDomainToUse;
}
//Examples of usage GenerateFullDomain() method:
//https://example.com:5031
//http://example.com:5031
Solution 10 - asp.net
Using UriBuilder:
var relativePath = ""; // or whatever-path-you-want
var uriBuilder = new UriBuilder
{
Host = Request.Url.Host,
Path = relativePath,
Scheme = Request.Url.Scheme
};
if (!Request.Url.IsDefaultPort)
uriBuilder.Port = Request.Url.Port;
var fullPathToUse = uriBuilder.ToString();
Solution 11 - asp.net
How about:
String domain = "http://" + Request.Url.Host
