Hi folks

I want to get the current URL or http request. For reasons the current session is causing problems for me. So is there some code to get the current URL, without using SessionContext.Get_RequestURL()?

I am very far down the rabbit hole. Very far from the original issue. So I can expand, but there is no short way to do so. Meaning if there is no straight answer to the above, please ask for more info and then I will write you a 1000 word essay.

Thanks for your attention

Try URLUtility::getUrl().

Thanks Nikolaos

Unfortunately it also uses SessionContext.

I have found it though.

System.Web.HttpContext::Current.Request

So, can you explain why the SessionContext is causing issues for you? As far as I understand, the URL of the request can only exist in context of a session.

The context boils down like this:

Integrating with LinkedIn

Need to accept a token at redirect URL

Created a service for this purpose

Redirect call wasn't working.

Installed postman to check if my service works

Discovered that the token is passed through as a request parameter and not body

A custom service method parameter maps to a http request body member

So I need the current URL

I looked at the SysClassRunner example (it takes your class name as a http request parameter)

It threw errors in an inconsistent fashion

After a lengthy investigation I found it is because sometimes there is no session (meaning null SessionContext). If I have a current session open the postman call works (but not as it should).

So I looked into Sessions. Tried to create a session from code.

I stopped and made this post. (I mean I only wanted to get a token and now I'm struggling with sessions.)

Came across the code I mentioned in my previous reply.

Successsssssssss
