Url.Action in controller generates port twice on Server

Question

I referred this existing answer - but it didn't work.

I am using below piece of code to generate a fully qualified url and pass it to script and use this url there to redirect.

 @section Scripts
 {
    @Html.Script(@<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        let targetUrl = '@Html.Raw(Url.Action("action", "controller",
            new RouteValueDictionary(new { Area = "Schemes" }),
            Request.Url.Scheme,
            Request.Url.Host))';

        let script = new ListScript(targetUrl);
        script.initialize();           
    });
    </script>)

}

http://servername:9565/Controller/ActionName //^^^^^ Extra port added and appends port number 9565 twice. What could be the possible solution to this? Why this is happening?

The port is being added after the ActionName? or after the other port. — kyndigs, May 14 '20 at 04:29
after another port - http://servername:9565/Controller/ActionName - The (fictional) servername already has a port defined. — Shivani, May 14 '20 at 04:58
Are you generating the URL in the view or Controller? It looks like in the view. — kyndigs, May 14 '20 at 05:15

Try the following in Controller.

var url = Url.Action("action", "controller", new RouteValueDictionary(new { Area = "Schemes" }), HttpContext.Request.Scheme);

In View.

@Url.Action("Action", "Controller", new RouteValueDictionary(new { Area = "Schemes" }), Context.Request.Scheme, Context.Request.Host.ToString())

Also on a side note, do you need to wrap the Url.Action in Html.Raw, you just need the string value URL right?

We were doing it like this only, it didn't work, so we tried with HttpContext.Request.Host, but that too didn't work. – Shivani May 14 '20 at 05:20
What is the values of these two on their own? HttpContext.Request.Scheme & HttpContext.Request.Host – kyndigs May 14 '20 at 05:21
It too didn't work. Sorry. I think I'll have to do it via regex in script. – Shivani May 14 '20 at 08:32
Are both ports showing same? Do you have both HTTP and HTTPS enabled? – kyndigs May 14 '20 at 08:59
Yes both ports are same, with HTTPS enabled. – Shivani May 14 '20 at 09:10
Try and disable HTTPS and see if it generates both port still. – kyndigs May 14 '20 at 11:49
Well, I don't have access to the server so can't do that rn. But I handled it differently, via javascript. Removed port manually. – Shivani May 15 '20 at 10:11
