var uri = window.location.href.substr(window.location.protocol.length + window.location.hostname.length + 2);

This code also includes GET and HASHTAGS (basically everything after hostname)

If you need the query params you can use:

var path = (window.location.pathname+window.location.search).substr(1);

If you need access to the hash as well you can use:

var path = (window.location.href.replace(window.location.origin, '')).substr(1);
