Web/API/URLUtilsReadOnly

ObsoleteThis feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

The obsolete URLUtilsReadOnly interface previously defined utility methods for working with URLs. These were then inherited by other interfaces, such as WorkerLocation. URLUtilsReadOnly has been removed from the specification, and the properties it defined are now directly part of the affected interfaces.

Properties

This interface doesn't inherit any properties.

URLUtilsReadOnly.href Read only

Is a DOMString containing the whole URL.

URLUtilsReadOnly.protocol Read only

Is a DOMString containing the protocol scheme of the URL, including the final ':'.

URLUtilsReadOnly.host Read only

Is a DOMString containing the host, that is the hostname, a ':', and the port of the URL.

URLUtilsReadOnly.hostname Read only

Is a DOMString containing the domain of the URL.

URLUtilsReadOnly.origin Read only

Returns a DOMString containing the canonical form of the origin of the specific location.

URLUtilsReadOnly.port Read only

URLUtilsReadOnly.pathname Read only

Is a USVString containing an initial '/' followed by the path of the URL, not including the query string or fragment.

URLUtilsReadOnly.search Read only

Is a DOMString containing a '?' followed by the parameters of the URL.

URLUtilsReadOnly.hash Read only

Is a DOMString containing a '#' followed by the fragment identifier of the URL.

Methods

This interface doesn't inherit any methods.
