[ale] JavaScript and server address

[James Sumners]

That is the object I referenced in my previous email. It only accesses

the additional properties, though. I only knew `window.location` would
return the URL. I guess you are looking for `window.location.host`.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
