get-request-url

Function to extract the request URL from a Node.js HTTP response (http.IncomingMessage).

npm install get-request-url

Compatible with Node.js version 6.13.0 and higher.

Example:

const https = require('https');
const getRequestUrl = require('get-request-url');

https.get('https://www.github.com/', res => {
    const requestUrl = getRequestUrl(res);
    
    console.log(requestUrl.toString());
    // Output: https://www.github.com/
});

By default, getRequestUrl() does not add username and password to the request url. this can be changed by providing true as second parameter:

const http = require('http');
const getRequestUrl = require('get-request-url');

https.get('http://user:pass@localhost:3000/path/to/abc.xyz', res => {
    const requestUrl = getRequestUrl(res);
    const requestUrlWithAuth = getRequestUrl(res, true);
    
    console.log(requestUrl.toString());
    // Output: http://localhost:3000/path/to/abc.xyz
    
    console.log(requestUrlWithAuth.toString());
    // Output: http://user:pass@localhost:3000/path/to/abc.xyz
});
