Getting the request origin path through express

Question

I have a node server which I connect to from my website.

For certain requests it needs to know the webpage the request came from.

When I use req.headers.origin I get www.example.com instead of www.example.com/home/details

Stuff like req.path req.originalUrl req.host I just get the API route for example www.api.com/request or /request

why not sending the current url from the browser when calling your node server ? — Raphael PICCOLO, Aug 26 '21 at 11:09
@RaphaelPICCOLO Just for convivence. That will be my solution if there is no way to do it from the back end — StephenC, Aug 26 '21 at 12:45
the wesite is on some domain, and you ajax directly on a node server on another domain, right ? — Raphael PICCOLO, Aug 26 '21 at 13:15

I think the following code will do the the trick:

var fullUrl = req.protocol + '://' + req.get('host') + req.originalUrl;
