Current Request Url give my computer IP address not domain name

Question

I have little knowledge of networking, so I asked my sysadmin to host my application on a subdomain on our official website; for instance, downtoearth.com is the official website of my workplace. When I asked him for my computer's IP address, he just replied that my application was already accessible via myapp.downtoearth.com.

I can access my program from that domain, but my present issue is that attempting to get my current URL returns my computer's IP address. What I want is my domain myapp.downtoearth.com, not my IP address, therefore I tried using HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) and HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host, but it gave me the same result. Possibilities for resolving it exists?

Answer 1

Your application likely has a load balancer in the background. So, whenever we attempt to acquire Request.Url, the application will obtain the real request Url that webserver received, along with the port number. The Request should not be used. Url since it occasionally does not function as it should. Since the request is being handled locally in your case, Url is your IP. Request can be used in its place. UserHostName.
