Question

In Rails (version 3), request.url can show

http://www.foo.com/products/123

but what about just to get

http://www.foo.com    

or

http://www.foo.com/

? There are 2 apparent ways, one is using regular expression, which is not very clean, and the other is

"#{request.scheme}://#{request.host}"

and it is kind of ugly either. Is there a cleaner to do it?

Answer 1

This will get you what request.url gets you, but without the path:

request.protocol + request.host_with_port
