This can be different from the document's origin, e.g. if document.domain is set, or if the origin is inherited (e.g. about:blank or javascript: URL in an iframe). IIRC a use case for location.origin is checking e.origin in cross-document messaging. For that case it seems like you want the document's origin. 94084 1 annevk 2013-10-01 15:59:19 +0000 We should have document.origin for that. We could add it to the DOM. Adding Ian just in case he has a different opinion. 94409 2 ian 2013-10-07 20:57:57 +0000 LGTM. 95440 3 annevk 2013-10-28 16:45:47 +0000 https://github.com/whatwg/dom/commit/0999d4d9acbe9cb178021b9f6ceba8cc72cc00fd 95442 4 annevk 2013-10-28 16:55:31 +0000 And serializing it is this commit because I'm an idiot: https://github.com/whatwg/dom/commit/b5dcd1560f4c19a70f2dfc7eb1e00289809554e2
