HTTP_HOST in global.asax

[Greg Collins [Microsoft MVP]]

Is there a way to get the HTTP_HOST value in the Application_Start event handler in global.asax?

I have multiple sites running from the same hosted service, and want to keep track of current visitors for each site separately.

My intention was to get the HTTP_HOST value, and use that with an Application variable to store current visitors to the specific site.

Is there some other/better way to do this? Right now I'm getting an error that the Request object is not available in this context.

Thanks!

Never mind - I found it:

HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host;
