Url to current page

[Mats-Lennart Hansson]

Hi,
I need to extract the url to the page I'm currently at. For example, if
someone types http://www.mydomain.com/help/help.asp?param=1

I want to extract all this. I've looked att HTTP_REFERER, but it only gives
me the address from the page I came from (and it only exists if I clicked on
a link to get here, not if I wrote it in the address bar).

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Mats-Lennart

urLocation = Request.serverVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") & "?" &
Request.Querystring

Request.serverVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")

only returns /help/help.asp. In my case, I also need
http://www.mydomain.com. I did like this,

"http://" & Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") &
Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO") & "?" & Request.QueryString

Will this always work, or are there hidden problems? Is there an easier way?

Thanks,
Mats-Lennart

Sometimes, users will access the server by a SERVER_NAME that you are not
expecting. For example, they could access it by IP address, or someone
inside your network could access it by network name. Also, someone could
modify their hosts file, and reference your server by whatever name they
want to (e.g. http://this.server.sucks.com/)...

If this is a problem, you could consider storing the domain name section as
a constant (does it REALLY need to be dynamic?).

Why do you need the full URL?
