title: HttpContext.Current.Request null in production
body: <p>In my WCF app i have a Global.asax.cs with something like this to retrieve the base URL:</p>
  
  <pre><code>protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      string baseURL = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.GetComponents(UriComponents.SchemeAndServer, UriFormat.Unescaped);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my development box (localhost) it works fine. But when i push it to production the <code>System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request</code> returns <code>null</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone know why this might be happening?</p>
