How do I get the current absolute URL in Ruby on R

Question

How can I get the current absolute URL in my Ruby on Rails view?

The request.request_uri only returns the relative URL.

Answer 1

If by relative, you mean just without the domain, then look into request.domain.

Answer 2

request.env["REQUEST_URI"]

works in rails 2.3.4 tested and do not know about other versions.

Answer 3

if you want to be specific, meaning, you know the path you need:

link_to current_path(@resource, :only_path => false), current_path(@resource)

Answer 4

For Rails 3.2 or Rails 4 Simply get in this way "request.original_url" Reference: Original URL Method

For Rails 3 As request.url is deprecated.We can get absolute path by concatenating

"#{request.protocol}#{request.host_with_port}#{request.fullpath}"

For Rails 2

request.url

Answer 5

You can use:

request.full_path

or

request.url

Hopefully it will resolve your problem.

Cheers

Answer 6

DEPRECATION WARNING: Using #request_uri is deprecated. Use fullpath instead.
