expressjs: get requested url

Question

I want to get the url the client has requested out of the request.

Currently I use:

var requestedUrl = req.protocol + \'://\' + req.host + \':3000\' + re         


        

Answer 1

I'm afraid that pretty much all you can do. Unless you using https you can assume the protocol as http. As Raoul said you are not able to get anything after # server-side, that's for the browser

   var requestedUrl =  'http://' + req.headers.host + ':3000'  + req.url
