Response.useFinalURL

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the spec changes.

Warning: This property has been removed from the spec. Do not attempt to use in your code.

The useFinalURL property of the Response interface contains a boolean stating whether this is the final URL of the response.

Note: This property applies only to ServiceWorkers. In other contexts it will return undefined.

Syntax

var finalURL = response.useFinalURL;

Value

A Boolean.

Example

Consider a script residing in page index.html:

fetch('/test').then((r) => console.log(r.url))

test.html is being controlled by the service worker sw.js:

onfetch = (e) => {
  e.respondWith(fetch('/page2').then((r) => {
    r.usefinalURL = true;
    return r;
  })
}

The output will be /page2 and not /test in index.html, since setting the usefinalURL means that the response's URL is not set to request's URL.
