Hi all
I need to display the whole address that’s in the address bar of the
browser in a view.
http://localhost:3000/my_controller/my_action
I tried with request.request_uri, but sadly this only gives me the path
after the domain and port:
/my_controller/my_action
I saw that request.env_table[‘REQUEST_URI’] gives me the wanted result,
but it seems that this is not available in testing environment.
So i hacked this dirty little helper:
def whole_url
protocol + host_with_port + request_uri
end
But I guess it’s not very error proven, because what happens when the
default port is used and I only need
http://www.mysite.xxx/my_controller/my_action
but whole_url gives me
http://www.mysite.xxx:80/my_controller/my_action
? So I guess there’s for sure a better way to solve my problem… Any
hints? Thanks.
Josh
