I tried http://twitter.com/share?url=<?php the_permalink() ?> but only gave output of /post/69 not http://example.com/post/69.

In your WordPress any template, page.php, single.php, serach.php or others page below code will working. get_permalink is WP function and get_the_ID() is also a WP function that will get post id, page id. Try this code.

try this function into functions.php relative permalink

function get_relative_permalink( $url ) {
    return str_replace( home_url(), "", $url );
}
echo get_relative_permalink(get_permalink(get_the_ID()));

output /post/50/

or 

function get_relative_permalink( $url ) {
    $url = home_url($url);
    return esc_url($url);
}
echo get_relative_permalink($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

http://twitter.com/share?url=<?php echo get_relative_permalink($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?>

or 

global $post;
echo get_permalink($post->ID);

or

the_permalink();

Sorry for confusion.

Everything is working fine except for I am using Prepros live SASS compiler using custom port for preview example.com:4000 which was causing the problem. As long as I switched to standard url example.com, everything is working fine.

Thanks for all on their precious contributions.

In WP, you can get permalink of the post with get_permalink() function

Codex - get_permalink()

You can use it like that:

global $post;
<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID);?>

If you are in TheLoop, which probably is the case, if you are in single.php, then you can use the_permalink() - it will echo the link directly.

Outside the post loop, you can use wordpress get_permalink() function for that. Inside the loop you can use the_permalink($post->ID) although this echos the url straight out. here is the reference from wordpress.org.
