#15973 closed Bug (duplicate)

Ajax CSRF code in docs doesn't always work.

Description (last modified by Luke Plant)

while making urls are local, simply filtering for relative urls is not sufficient. several libraries may end up requesting a fully qualified url that is in fact local.

my suggestion is to change this line:

if (!(/^http:.*/.test(settings.url) || /^https:.*/.test(settings.url))) {

to this:

var root = location.protocol + '//' + location.host;
if (!(/^http:.*/.test(settings.url) || /^https:.*/.test(settings.url)) || settings.url.substr(0, root.length) === root  ) {

This is essentially the same as #15869 with different circumstances (i.e. certain libraries rather than certain browsers).
