Rails - Get the current url without the GET parameters

Question

request.url returns me this : http://localhost:3000/page?foo=bar.

Is there a method I can call to get http://localhost:3000/page , or do I have to parse the string t

Answer 1

To get the request URL without any query parameters.

def current_url_without_parameters
  request.base_url + request.path
end

Answer 2

request.path should return what you're looking for if you're not concerned about the hostname. Otherwise you might try:

url_for(:only_path => false, :overwrite_params=>nil)

Answer 3

I use the following:

request.original_url.split('?').first

It does not regenerate the path, and therefore gives you exactly the url that the end-user sees in their browser, minus query parameters.
