$[removed].origin gives wrong value when using IE

Question

$window.location.origin returns the wrong value on IE.

The origin property returns the protocol, hostname and port number of a URL.

Answer 1

You may also need the port number. If so, you can use this polyfill

if (!window.location.origin) {
  window.location.origin = window.location.protocol + "//" 
    + window.location.hostname 
    + (window.location.port ? ':' + window.location.port : '');
}

This polyfill is already part of Modernizr.
