Getting the local URL in mvc/ Controller not recognising local url

Question

I a trying to test the following code. This is a summarised code.

string url = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.ToString();
if (Url.IsLocalUrl(url))
        {
            return Redirect(url);
        }
        else
        {
            return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
        }

In this code the url is obtained from context but in my original code it is passed to the controller action as string from a Authorize filter and looks like http://localhost:53249/Products in Debug.Write. However the IF is not satisfied that the url is local URL can someone explain what I am doing wrong.

Solved it by using the following sentence

string url = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.PathAndQuery;

Pass the returnUrl to Url.IsLocalUrl() instead of the current request url context. Your passing invalid url to Url.IsLocalUrl().

that sentence is actually in the Filter and not in controller.
