How to obtain map service url from within Server Object Extension (.NET)

Question

I'm having trouble figuring out how to obtain the full url to the map service a Server Object Extension is running on top of. I bascially want:

IMapServer4 mapServer = (IMapServer4)serverObjectHelper.ServerObject;
string fullUrl = mapServer.url 

Which would yield: http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Census/MapServer

Any Ideas?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Here's code that returns the msd path. I don't know of a way to get the original url. (Remember, one or more web adaptors may be used for a service, each with a different hostname). The path to the msd could be parsed and used to construct the portions of the url containing the folder and mapservice name.

For testing I find it helpful to also know the processID, which makes it easier to attach a debugger.

private byte[] RootResHandler(NameValueCollection boundVariables, string outputFormat, 
    string requestProperties, out string responseProperties)
{
    responseProperties = null;

    JsonObject result = new JsonObject();            
    var id = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id;
    result.AddString("Machine", Environment.MachineName);
    result.AddString("ProcessID", id.ToString());
    var svrInit = m_serverObjectHelper.ServerObject as IMapServerInit2;
    if (svrInit != null)
    {
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(svrInit.FilePath))
            result.AddString("filepath", svrInit.FilePath);
        else
            result.AddString("filepath", "null filepath");
    }
    else
        result.AddString("filepath", "no svrInit");
    return Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(result.ToJson());
}
