Usando a resposta de @Charlino como guia, eu vim com isso.
A documentação do ASP.NET MVC para UrlHelper mostra que Url.Action retornará uma URL totalmente qualificada se um nome de host e protocolo forem passados. Criei esses auxiliares para forçar o nome de host e o protocolo a serem fornecidos. As várias sobrecargas refletem as sobrecargas de Url.Action:
using System.Web.Routing;
namespace System.Web.Mvc {
public static class HtmlExtensions {
public static string AbsoluteAction(this UrlHelper url, string actionName) {
Uri requestUrl = url.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.Url;
return url.Action(actionName, null, (RouteValueDictionary)null,
requestUrl.Scheme, null);
}
public static string AbsoluteAction(this UrlHelper url, string actionName,
object routeValues) {
Uri requestUrl = url.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.Url;
return url.Action(actionName, null, new RouteValueDictionary(routeValues),
requestUrl.Scheme, null);
}
public static string AbsoluteAction(this UrlHelper url, string actionName,
RouteValueDictionary routeValues) {
Uri requestUrl = url.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.Url;
return url.Action(actionName, null, routeValues, requestUrl.Scheme, null);
}
public static string AbsoluteAction(this UrlHelper url, string actionName,
string controllerName) {
Uri requestUrl = url.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.Url;
return url.Action(actionName, controllerName, (RouteValueDictionary)null,
requestUrl.Scheme, null);
}
public static string AbsoluteAction(this UrlHelper url, string actionName,
string controllerName,
object routeValues) {
Uri requestUrl = url.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.Url;
return url.Action(actionName, controllerName,
new RouteValueDictionary(routeValues), requestUrl.Scheme,
null);
}
public static string AbsoluteAction(this UrlHelper url, string actionName,
string controllerName,
RouteValueDictionary routeValues) {
Uri requestUrl = url.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.Url;
return url.Action(actionName, controllerName, routeValues, requestUrl.Scheme,
null);
}
public static string AbsoluteAction(this UrlHelper url, string actionName,
string controllerName, object routeValues,
string protocol) {
Uri requestUrl = url.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.Url;
return url.Action(actionName, controllerName,
new RouteValueDictionary(routeValues), protocol, null);
}
}
}
