How to get the correct proxy URL in Apigee?

Question

In my Apigee API Proxy, I need to get the environment URL that is defined in my configuration, so that I can send it as part of the response.

For example: http://myorg-test.apigee.net/pricing

However, when I try to get it using proxy.url, I get an aliased path, like http://rrt18apigee.us-ea.4.apigee.com/pricing

Currently, I'm trying to get it like:

var response = {
    proxyUrl : context.getVariable("proxy.url"),
};

@remus request.uri doesn't have the full path. I just see the suffix, like the following example from javascript-cookbook: `/forecastrss?w=12797282` — Victor Lyuboslavsky, Aug 28 '14 at 18:27
Check out the variables list in the Apigee docs - something should be in there — brandonscript, Aug 28 '14 at 18:28
@remus Yes I tried pretty much all variables from Apigee docs. Some that looked promising like `application.basepath` don't return anything. Perhaps `proxy.url` is simply broken? — Victor Lyuboslavsky, Aug 28 '14 at 18:35
Yeah I'm actually weirded out that the proxy.url isn't working properly. Hmmm — brandonscript, Aug 28 '14 at 19:04

Here is a work around. You can try to get the following variables and create the entire URL

Get the request scheme (http or https) from request.Headers.X-Forwarded-Proto (if you are using cloud version) or client.scheme if you are using on-prem
Get the host name from request.host
Get the entire request path from request.path
Entire list of URL query params and list from message.querystring

You can then construct the entire request URL.

( I know this should not be this painful. Please log a bug in case proxy.url is really broken. )
