Get the real real requested URL using IIS7

Question

Using ASP.Net, I am trying to determine the actual URL requested by the user. For example if I type the following into my address bar:

http://mysite/////one//two

Fiddler shows me that this is the URL being sent over the wire however by the time it reaches ASP.Net all of the variables in HttpContext.Current.Request are showing this URL:

http://mysite/one/two

The IIS logs show the same cleaned up version of the URL as ASP.Net. This causes some of the relative links on the site to break so I would like to at least detect and log these requests. I am using IIS7 on Windows 7 and .Net 3.5 SP1.

What is doing this translation and how can I find out the original URL?

Answer 1

The original URL can be reconstructed using Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_URL"] which has the original unprocessed path.
