I have an MVC3 Action that takes a parameter (a URL) that may have a query string in it. My action signature looks like this:

GetUrl(string url)

I expect to be able to send it urls, and it works every time unless there is a query string in the url. For example, if I navigate to:

MyController/GetUrl/www.google.com

the url parameter comes accross as “www.google.com” -Perfect. However, if I send
MyController/GetUrl/www.google.com/?id=3
the url parameter comes accross as “www.google.com/” How do I get MVC3 to give me the whole URL in that parameter? -Including the query string?

    It’s simple enough to just URL.Encode the passed in URL on the page but you’re opening your self to some possible security problems.

    I would suggest you encrypt the url then encode it then pass that as your value, the protects you from having people just passing in anything into your app.
