    var reUrlPath = /(?:\w+:)?\/\/[^\/]+([^?#]+)/;
    var urlParts = url.match(reUrlPath) || [url, defaults];
    return urlParts.pop();
}
alert( getPath('http://stackoverflow.com/q/123/regex-url', 'unknown') );
alert( getPath('https://stackoverflow.com/q/123/regex-url', 'unknown') );
alert( getPath('//stackoverflow.com/q/123/regex-url', 'unknown') );
alert( getPath('http://stackoverflow.com/q/123/regex-url?foo', 'unknown') );
alert( getPath('http://stackoverflow.com/q/123/regex-url#foo', 'unknown') );
