How can I parse HTTP urls in C#?
Solution 1
I think you can get a lot of use out of the System.Uri class. Feed it a URI and you can pull out pieces in a number of arrangements.
Some examples:
Uri myUri = new Uri("http://server:8080/func2/SubFunc2?query=somevalue");
// Get host part (host name or address and port). Returns "server:8080".
string hostpart = myUri.Authority;
// Get path and query string parts. Returns "/func2/SubFunc2?query=somevalue".
string pathpart = myUri.PathAndQuery;
// Get path components. Trailing separators. Returns { "/", "func2/", "sunFunc2" }.
string[] pathsegments = myUri.Segments;
// Get query string. Returns "?query=somevalue".
string querystring = myUri.Query;
Solution 2
This might come as a bit of a late answer but I found myself recently trying to parse some URLs and I went along using a combination of Uri
and System.Web.HttpUtility
as seen here, my URLs were like http://one-domain.com/some/segments/{param1}?param2=x....
so this is what I did:
var uri = new Uri(myUrl);
string param1 = uri.Segments.Last();
var parameters = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(uri.Query);
string param2 = parameters["param2"];
note that in both cases you'll be working with string
s, and be specially weary when working with segments.

My requirement is to parse Http Urls and call functions accordingly. In my current implementation, I am using nested if-else statement which i think is not an optimized way. Can you suggest some other efficient approch?
Urls are like these:
server/func1
server/func1/SubFunc1
server/func1/SubFunc2
server/func2/SubFunc1
server/func2/SubFunc2
