Malformed URL by using Page.Request.Url.ToString() - why?

[=?Utf-8?B?QXhlbCBEYWhtZW4=?=]

Hi,

one of my .aspx pages is called using a URL like:
http://localhost/Test.aspx?returnUrl...myParam%3dtest

But when I call Page.Request.Url.ToString() I get:
http://localhost/Test.aspx?returnUrl...x?myParam=test

Why? How can I obtain the correct URL from the Url object?

TIA,
Axel Dahmen

.... second question is obsolete as OriginalUri And PathAndQuery do the job.
Still why does ToString() return an invalid URI? Is this by intention?

TIA,

I believe it's because the URL contains another full URL with QueryString
arguments and the URL parser may be getting confused because it sees = in
the 2nd query string....if you can modify the query string to use URLEncode,
that should help. (Encode the querystring before sending the request ... or
set the URLEncode'ed string for the link you are using....)

Hi Axel,

The querystring of the URL is encoded using HttpUtility.UrlEncode. When
Uri.ToString() is called, internally it will decode the URL back to its
normal format. Yes it's by design behavior.
