Application Address

Shimon Sim · Jan 12, 2005

Hi
I need to get application address that will look like this
http://www.mysite.com
I tried already Request.FilePaht that the documentation says that it returns
the full path of the request including host name but on my machine for some
reason it only returns virtual path and is equal RawUrl.

What's wrong? How can I get host name programmatically?

start here maybe
for(int i = 0;i < Request.ServerVariables.Count;i++)

{

Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables.ToString() + "<br>");

}

Try Request.Url

If you are in a virtual dir it will show that, not the base URL

Whoops... nevermind...
Thought that was Request.Servervariables["URL"]

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script language="VB" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(ByVal obj As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim dnsname As String = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")
Label1.Text = dnsname
End Sub

You can also use Request.Url.Host

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script language="VB" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(ByVal obj As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim dnsname As String = Request.Url.Host
Label1.Text = dnsname
End Sub
</script>
<head>
<title>Retrieve Server DNS Name</title>
</head>
<html>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" Runat="server" Text="Label" Width="238px" Height="19px"></asp:Label><br />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

What's wrong with RawUrl??

I'm a quick study, Karl.

;-)

Actually, I don't know why that
didn't work when I first tested it.

The first time I ran it, it only returned the IP address.

When I ran it again, after you objected, it returned
what it's supposed to return: the hostname.

I attribute it to evil internet pixies.
