Revision 465579 of WorkerLocation

<p>The <strong><code>WorkerLocation</code></strong> interface defines the absolute location of the script executed by the {{domxref("Worker")}}. Such an object is initialized for each worker and is available via the {{domxref("WorkerGlobalScope.location")}} property obtained by calling <code>window.self.location</code>.</p>
<p>This interface is only visible from inside a JavaScript script executed in the context of a Web worker.</p>
