Give workers a base URL and clean up shared workers
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This fixes the following from #164:

* It gives workers a base URL that matches the response's url. Per https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28835 this matches Firefox and would also be more consistent with how the platform determines base URLs in general. (The fix is slightly ugly as it puts the URL on the global object so it can be overridden later. In HTML Standard theory the global object is optional and non-JavaScript languages need not provide it, but I think we should move away from that: #167.)

* It keys shared worker on constructor URL rather than "location". The latter takes redirects into account and if implemented results in racy behavior. Fortunately, neither Chrome nor Firefox implemented this and instead already use this new "constructor url" concept.

* It references "in parallel" where used.

* It defaults name to the empty string through IDL.
