How to get location.href on either secure or non-secure http request

Question

I have the following statement to get the href location of my iframe window...

var mbackwindow = document.getElementById("mframe").contentWindow.location.href;

depending on how I load the initial page, the console.log(mbackwindow) will show me either http://something/page/stuff.html, or https://something/page/stuff.html

From my variable mbackwindow, I want to get the "/page/stuff.html", no matter if the location is coming from http or https. How I collect that via javascript / jquery?

Thanks!

Use the following window.location property:

window.location.pathname

So in your case, use:

var mbackwindow = document.getElementById("mframe").contentWindow.location.pathname;
