Obtaining Client URL Information

Last updated: 2024-08-26 17:10:10

This example captures incoming HTTP requests and returns an HTML page displaying the detailed information about the request URL. It can be used for debugging and displaying the request parameters, paths, and sources.
Sample Code
// Add a fetch event listener, which is triggered when a request is incoming. It uses the handleRequest function to handle requests and return responses.
addEventListener('fetch', event => {
    event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request))
})
﻿
function handleRequest(request) {
    // Parse the request URL.
    const url = new URL(request.url)
﻿
    // Extract various components of the URL.
    const {
        href, // Full URL
        protocol, // Protocol (e.g., http:)
        hostname, // Host name (e.g., example.com)
        port, // Port (if specified)
        pathname, // Path (e.g., /path)
        search, // Query string (e.g., ?query=123)
        hash // Fragment after the hash sign (e.g., #section)
    } = url
﻿
    // Construct the HTML response content.
    const htmlContent = `
        <!DOCTYPE html>
        <html lang="en">
        <head>
            <meta charset="UTF-8">
            <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
            <title>Request URL Details</title>
        </head>
        <body>
            <h1>Request URL Details</h1>
            <p><strong>Complete URL:</strong> <a href="${href}">${href}</a></p>
            <p><strong>Protocol:</strong> ${protocol}</p>
            <p><strong>Hostname:</strong> ${hostname}</p>
            ${port ? `<p><strong>Port:</strong> ${port}</p>` : ''}
            <p><strong>Pathname:</strong> ${pathname}</p>
            <p><strong>Search:</strong> ${search}</p>
            ${hash ? `<p><strong>Hash:</strong> ${hash}</p>` : ''}
        </body>
        </html>
    `;
﻿
    // Return a response in HTML format.
    return new Response(htmlContent, {
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'text/html;charset=UTF-8'
        }
    })
}
