.NET - Get protocol, host, and port

Even though @Rick has the accepted answer for this question, there's actually a shorter way to do this, using the poorly named Uri.GetLeftPart() method.

Uri url = new Uri("http://www.mywebsite.com:80/pages/page1.aspx");
string output = url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority);

There is one catch to GetLeftPart(), however. If the port is the default port for the scheme, it will strip it out. Since port 80 is the default port for http, the output of GetLeftPart() in my example above will be http://www.mywebsite.com.

If the port number had been something other than 80, it would be included in the result.

The following (C#) code should do the trick

Uri uri = new Uri("http://www.mywebsite.com:80/pages/page1.aspx");
string requested = uri.Scheme + Uri.SchemeDelimiter + uri.Host + ":" + uri.Port;

Well if you are doing this in Asp.Net or have access to HttpContext.Current.Request I'd say these are easier and more general ways of getting them:

var scheme = Request.Url.Scheme; // will get http, https, etc.
var host = Request.Url.Host; // will get www.mywebsite.com
var port = Request.Url.Port; // will get the port
var path = Request.Url.AbsolutePath; // should get the /pages/page1.aspx part, can't remember if it only get pages/page1.aspx

I hope this helps. :)

A more structured way to get this is to use UriBuilder. This avoids direct string manipulation.

var builder = new UriBuilder(Request.Url.Scheme, Request.Url.Host, Request.Url.Port);
