You can use HttpContext.Current.Request.Url for example.

With ASP.NET MVC this is going to be null, and I forget under what circumstances it can be with WebForms. – Grant Thomas Apr 22 '13 at 11:14
In SessionStart we already have HttpContext - so in general case - no, it won't. – Lanorkin Apr 22 '13 at 11:18
@GrantThomas See nothing regarding `Request.Current` except it is `evil`; do see about `Session` - but that's not the question here. So you make it interesting to me, but I still don't see when `HttpContext.Current` is null in the `SessionStart`. All I can see is "not unittestable" - but nothing about null.. – Lanorkin Apr 22 '13 at 11:27
Maybe not the most definitive reference, just the first I found, and didn't look hard (indeed, didn't have to!) - basically there is variance in the utility of your answer, with no specifics on how and where it can be used, even though those conditions exist. – Grant Thomas Apr 22 '13 at 11:29
@GrantThomas Ok. I still don't see use case when `HttpContext.Current` is null in `Session_Start` - and it's really interesting that you are so sure in it. – Lanorkin Apr 22 '13 at 11:32

You can use this while creating session:

Path.GetFileName( Request.Url.AbsolutePath )
