Overview

Port number is not returned when querying window.location in JavaScript.

Description

The JavaScript query window.location does not include the port number in BrowserNG releases prior to 7.1.17291.

How to reproduce

Create a HTML page on a server running some other port than 80:

 <html>
   <head>
    <script type="text/javascript"> 
     alert("Found window location: " + window.location);
    </script>
   </head>
  <body>
   <h1>Location test</h1> 
  </body>
 </html>

Solution

Fixed in upcoming firmware updates.

Possible workaround:

 url = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host + window.location.pathname + 
window.location.search
