Access hostname/port number to invoke ajax request

I'm using an ajax request to retrun json from a URL.

This is working locally as below : 

$.ajax({
            url: "http://localhost:8080/updates.json",      
            type: 'post',
            dataType : "json",
            success : function(jsonResponse) {  
            }); 

            },
            error: function (err) {
            } 

        });

The url needs to be updated so that it works no matter the na eof server its deployed on.

Can url be replaced with something like : "http://"+getThisHostName()+":8080/updates.json" ?

Is there a safe way of returning the current hostname path ?

You could do it like this

//say you are on http://domain.com:8080
//this will request from http://domain.com:8080/updates.json
$.ajax({
    url: "/updates.json", 
    ...
});
