Commit summary:
Provisional workaround for bug 30825 as it affects things run via $.ajax()
using protocol-relative links built from wgServer etc -- IE 7 gets confused and
denies access for protocol-relative URLs on XMLHTTPRequest, while it's ok
everywhere else.
This is already internally fixed in jQuery 1.6, so won't be needed on 1.18 and
later.
Comment:
Worth noting: when jQuery 1.6 accesses window.location, it does it this way:
<nowiki>
var ajaxLocation;
// #8138, IE may throw an exception when accessing
// a field from window.location if document.domain has been set
try {
ajaxLocation = location.href;
} catch( e ) {
// Use the href attribute of an A element
// since IE will modify it given document.location
ajaxLocation = document.createElement( "a" );
ajaxLocation.href = "";
ajaxLocation = ajaxLocation.href;
}
</nowiki>
Here is the issue in the jQuery bug tracker: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/8138
I'm not clear on whether this will affect MediaWiki, but we may want to do the
same thing (but with .protocol instead of .href, of course).
