Parsing a URL Using ASP.NET MVC Routing

Question

I have a URL in string format that I want to parse to get the relevent Route Values. I could parse the string manually, but I want to use my routing configuration so I am not tied to the particular string format (so I can change the URL format easily).

I am trying to use the GetRouteData method on the RouteCollection, but this takes a HttpContextBase parameter. Obviously this works fine when the URL is the current URL, but I need to be able to pass in any URL.

In my routing unit tests I mock HttpContextBase out, but I don't want to do that in production code!

Any ideas?
