Supported by Opera and Firefox. Posted from: 85.227.157.105 by simonp@opera.com User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8) AppleWebKit/535.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/17.0.942.0 Safari/535.8 61167 1 ian 2011-12-07 23:29:19 +0000 So to do this I guess we just hack the origin to be the origin of the caller if the worker URL is a data: URL? 61223 2 zcorpan 2011-12-08 09:16:08 +0000 http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/1274 - currently Firefox returns the empty string, Opera returns the full data: URL (although I think we have changed that to return 'null' instead). Since workers can use XHR, EventSource and WebSocket, I think it would be better to use the origin of the entry script. Opera currently doesn't allow data: for shared workers (and Firefox doesn't support shared workers at all), but we have discussed adding support for it, but here it's more important than with dedicated workers that the origin is that of the caller, so that different origin pages that use the same data: URL for a shared worker don't actually share the worker, but use separate ones. 70464 3 contributor 2012-07-18 07:59:33 +0000 This bug was cloned to create bug 18001 as part of operation convergence. 71218 4 ian 2012-07-20 03:32:14 +0000 I've added this, but am leaving this bug open to deal with the following problem currently in the spec: the SharedWorker constructor doesn't use the origin of the script of the worker (it uses the origin of the URL of the location attribute, which is always unique for data: URLs). 71982 5 contributor 2012-08-09 18:02:55 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r7235.
