Obtain Original URL from the Client Request

[Sadashiva]

I'm looking for a solution to get the original send URL from the client request, whenever i received a request from the Client that stored in c:/URL_folder/myfile%30test.txt HTTP/1.5".I tried out to find some more information related to where else these files are stored but i Never found a property or collection item which has the value "/URL_folder/myfile%30test.txt" I expect. But i was successful in finding out the values where the path for "/URL_folder/myfile%30test.txt" is translated in "/folder/myfile test.txt" but I need the quoted URL. Where can I get this?

With the Requst object only, you cannot get the original HTTP request contents, but you can get close. Since there are multiple ways to encode URLs, the following (easy) method might not give the exact original, but if this is OK to you, then you can use the following code.

The step you need is simply to re-encode the given URL you have, and then
work with that.

For example, given a page "/Default Page Test.asxp", the following code:

--------------------------
string url = Uri.EscapeUriString(Request.RawUrl);
--------------------------

...would return "/Default%20Page%20Test.aspx".

Hope this helps!

Hi,

If you really need the original values, you will have to depend on the
web server.

For IIS see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms524602.aspx

HTTP_METHOD
HTTP_URL
HTTP_VERSION

Note that you have to use HttpWorkerRequest.GetServerVariable() because
HttpRequest only enables access to a subset of the server variables.

To obtain HttpWorkerRequest:

HttpContext context = ...
HttpWorkerRequest workerRequest =
(HttpWorkerRequest)((IServiceProvider)context).GetService(typeof(HttpWorkerRequest));
