open(...) 相对或绝对的 URL

Question

I don't quite understand the functioning of the url parameter of XMLHttpRequest open(method, url, async) . Let's say I have a web server like that:

page.html sends an asynchronous request to controller.php . As we can only send requests to our own web server, I assume that we don't have to rewrite the website's name in the URL.

Example: instead of open('GET', 'http://www.mywebsite/controller.php', true) we can simply write open('GET', 'controller.php', true) ).

I don't get if this URL is relative to page.html or absolute from the root of the server.

---

TL;DR: Do I have to write open('GET', 'controller.php?param=1', true) or open('GET', 'folder/controller.php?param=1', true) ?

Answer 1

与 JavaScript 中的所有 URL 一样，相对 URL 与 JavaScript 代码在其中运行的页面的 URL 相关。

Answer 2

It's relative to the folder of the page. All URLs in HTML and JavaScript are processed relative to the page (more precisely, the base URL of the page, which can be changed with a <base> tag).

So you should use:

open('GET', 'controller.php?param=1', true);

since the controller is in the same folder as the page calling it.
