Rerquest.whole_url? :: does this exist already somewhere?

Rails

Hi all

I need to determine the whole URL that a user visits. So I created the
following method:

class ActionController::AbstractRequest
def whole_url
protocol + host_with_port + request_uri
end
end

However, I can’t imagine that there’s not already a method like this
somewhere implemented? Or isn’t there?

Thanks for info
Josh

request.env[‘REQUEST_URI’] should do it. It won’t include the query
string in the path (those are in params) or any anchor fragment.
