sails.getBaseUrl()
This method is deprecated and has been removed in Sails v1.0
There is no reliable, cross-platform way to automatically detect the external URL of a running Sails app (or any other Node app). In mission-critical situations, you are advised to pre-determine the URL and save it in a custom environment-dependent configuration value (e.g.
sails.config.appUrl) that you can reference elsewhere in the app.
Return a best guess of the base URL for this app, based on a combination of user-supplied and default configuration values.
sails.getBaseUrl();
getBaseUrl() constructs a URL string by inspecting various configuration values and defaults. For example, if sails.config.ssl.key and sails.config.ssl.cert both have values, the URL will start with https:// instead of http://. If sails.config.explicitHost is not undefined, its value will be used as the domain name; otherwise it will be localhost. If sails.config.port is not 80 or 443, its value will be appended to the URL as well.
