Problem
I'm trying to get the current URL in Rails using `request.host`, `request.url` but I have a website that is in 2 domains, so: When I'm at `www.example1.com` the `request.host` or .url show `www.example1.com` When I'm at `www.example2.com` the `request.host` or .url shows `example1.com` because the example2 is getting all content from example1 and showing it in the example2(parsed) So the request.host gives me the host, and request.url seems to be giving me the host also What I need is the URL that appears in the browser and not the host, any ideas? Notes: - I'm using Rails 4 and Ruby 2 - request.domain doesn't work, this returns just the ".com" piece of the URL
