In a nutshell
An origin is the combination of URL scheme, host, and port. Here are some examples of origins:
| Origin | Scheme | Host | Port |
|---|---|---|---|
| https://example.com | https | example.com | 443 (default port of https) |
| http://example.com | http | example.com | 80 (default port of http) |
| http://example.com:8080 | http | example.com | 8080 |
The path of the host doesn’t matter. So, the following origins would be considered the same:
- https://example.com
- https://example.com/foo
- https://example.com/foo/bar
