Question

self.location =  cache:  + self.location

I want to redirect from "[URL]" to "cache:[URL]". I just want this code to work in Chrome browser.

Answer 1

I don t think that s actually a legal location. Chrome intercepts this from the address bar as a search, and sends it to google.

You are better off doing this:

window.location.href =  http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=cache:  + window.location

Answer 2

isn t that rather:

window.location

you will need to do user agent string checking, if it should work only for chrome.

Answer 3

Use the window object directly, and set the href property instead of the entire location object.

window.location.href =  cache:  + window.location.href;

Edit:
I did some testing to see what Chrome actually did with this URL. You can t redirect to an URL like that, as what you are trying to use is not actually an URL. It s a google search, that you can type in the address field of the chrome browser, but you can t do the same by setting the location of the window. By setting the location you go past the step where the browser checks if it s an URL or a search that is typed in.

Answer 4

Could be an odd behaviour of self.location, as i ve always used window.location.

Try concatenating BEFORE redirecting the window too, like so:

var currentLocation = window.location;
var newLocation =  cache: +currentLocation;
window.location = newLocation;

That should work.
