Regular expression to remove hostname and port from URL?

Question

I need to write some javascript to strip the hostname:port part from a url, meaning I want to extract the path part only.

i.e. I want to write a function getPath(url

Answer 1

It's very simple:

^\w+:.*?(:)\d*

Trying to find second occurance of ":" followed by number and preceded by http or https.

This works for below two cases

Ex:

http://localhost:8080/myapplication

https://localhost:8080/myapplication

Hope this helps.
