Getting the current URL that is shown in the browser

Question

Currently I'm trying to get the current URL that is shown in the browser.

If I use

Request.Path 

I get https://this.website.com:443/Default.aspx which is technically correct.

However the URL displayed in the browser itself is https://this.website.com/ .

Using any of the Request options still will show Default.aspx.

I need to ultimately detect wether or not the url in the browser is https://this.website.com or http://this.website.com/Default.aspx and then redirect to Default.aspx if it's not there.

Btw complicating things more is the https redirect in my web.config.

Answer 1

You can get it from the request in the httpcontext .

HttpContext.Current.Request.Url

Updated:

If you want to tell wether the current url is / or /default.aspx. You can use the RawUrl property of the request. This field will contain the whole url.

HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl
