Question

How do we get the current page URL in Lift snippets? I am trying to figure out if the current request is in SSL (http or https).

Answer 1

You don’t specify the version of Lift you’re using, but there are a couple of options. In very recent versions you can use CurrentReq:

import net.liftweb.http.CurrentReq

val secure = CurrentReq.value.request.scheme == "https"

Another option is S‘s request method:

import net.liftweb.http.S

val secure = S.request.map(_.request.scheme == "https").openOr(false)

You could retrieve the rest of the page URL using other methods on HTTPRequest.
