Getting _all_ request headers

Question

Hi all,


within my WCF RESTful service I'm trying to get all headers that are part of the according request. WCF provides programmatic acces through WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingWebRequestContext.Headers

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be possible to retrieve the actual request string. One short example of an http request, so you'll understand what I mean:
GET /index.php?user=johndoe HTTP/1.1
Host: www.somepage.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0
Accept: image/gif, image/jpeg, */*
Connection: close

How do I programmatically access the first line, i.e.,
GET /index.php?user=johndoe HTTP/1.1

There is WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingWebRequestContext.Method but this does only return "GET", not the string after (which I need to access for some reasons).
I know that I can specify an UriTemplate and map the according bracket-contens to actual method parameters, but this is not what I need.
Any ideas? Thank you!


Best Regards
Oliver.

Answer 1

You can try

WebOperationContext

 

.Current.IncomingRequest.UriTemplateMatch.RequestUri;

That will give you the absolute URI of the request (something like http://www.somepage.com/index.php?user=johndoe), you can parse the request (take the host out of it) to get the URI part of the first line of the HTTP request.
