How can I get the current url

I need to get the current url, like https://www.mypage.com/subfolder/iamhere.html

I know that I can get the templatePath using getCurrentTemplatePath(), but I need the url and I don't know how to do that.

I searched in google and stackoverflow, but I always ended up either with non cfml code or the templatePath.

Solution

  • The sample URL you give is an HTML page. For that, you'd need Javascript. Something like:

    var addr = window.location.href;

    For ColdFusion, be sure you're using code on an actual CFML page. For instance: https://www.mypage.com/subfolder/iamhere.cfm

    If this is the case, like others have said, you should use the CGI scope. As an example:

    <cfset addr = (cgi.SERVER_PORT IS 443?'https':'http') & "://" & cgi.HTTP_HOST & cgi.HTTP_URL>
