In Selenium IDE, how to get the value of the base url

Question

Is it possible to retrieve the value of the base url from inside a Selenium script (a plain HTML-saved script from Selenium IDE)?

Answer 1

You can also open your base page and use storeLocation to put the current location into a variable:

|open|/||
|storeLocation|host||
|assertLocation|${host}somepage.html

Bonus: here's how I figured out the corresponding SSL url

|storeEval|window.document.location.toString().replace(new RegExp("^http://([^:]+):80"), "https://$1:40");|hostSSL|
