How to use JavaScript or/and PHP, to detect a website/page being stolen/cloned and then redirect reader back to my website

I found hundreds of cloned versions of my website.
Whoever is doing that are using some code that clones my web pages, changes my website name mydomain.com to clone1.com, clone2.com, clone3.com etc and this makes it impossible to use a simple JS or PHP to check if the header URL is = to mysite.com then redirect.
It also does not work using the .htaccess
For this reason I have created this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.location.href== "http://clone1.com/cat1/{{{ $title->id }}}-{{ (Str::slug($title->title)) }}/cat2/{{ $se->n }}/cat3/{{ $episode->ep_n }}")
{
window.location.href = 'http://google.com/';
}
</script>
This script completes its purpose but is too long and is also very restrictive because it must contain the exact URL.
I'm looking to do this:
<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.location.href== "http://
//contains this part in its URL
clone1.com , clone2.com , clone3.com , clone4....
}}")
{
window.location.href = 'http://google.com/';
}
</script>
How can I create a global JS (JavaScript), that would detect if the current page is not on my domain and then redirect the reader to my domain and the same page?
Many thanks

1. Best Solution - Early Detection
Depending on your main traffic source, it is possible to detect who is scrapping you and block them based on their IP, Headers, number of page views and other data, using PHP & HTACCESS.
I really like this answer on the StackOverflow, that discusses almost all the options available for early detection.
How to detect fake users ( crawlers ) and cURL
2. Plugins & Extensions for Open Source Content Management Systems
Wordpress
If using Wordpress CMS, you can try some plugins, like WordFence, that can detect and block fake Google Crawlers, block based on the number of page views etc.
Other CMS
If you can't find a similar solution for your CMS of choice, consider to ask a community for a help with creating the solution like that, as I believe many people could benefit from it.
3. Solution for already stolen content with JavaScript
Sometimes the easiest road to hide something in JS, is to actually HIDE something by OBFUSCATING and by hiding in multiple important files. For example, obfuscate some important file on your website without which the website just wouldn't work properly.
For example, put an obfuscated version of the code below somewhere in JS file in the header, Obfuscate this code using any free services online or download your own library on Github:
Non-Obfuscated:
w='mysite.com'; // Current URL e.g. 'mysite.com/category1/page2/'
function check_origin(){
var check = 587;
if(window.location.hostname != w){
window.location.href = w;
}
return check;
}
var check = check_origin();
Obfuscated example:
var _0x303e=["\x6D\x79\x73\x69\x74\x65\x2E\x63\x6F\x6D","\x68\x6F\x73\x74\x6E\x61\x6D\x65","\x6C\x6F\x63\x61\x74\x69\x6F\x6E","\x68\x72\x65\x66"];w= _0x303e[0];function check_origin(){var check=587;if(window[_0x303e[2]][_0x303e[1]]!= w){window[_0x303e[2]][_0x303e[3]]= w};return check}var check=check_origin()
Now put an additional code in some Footer JS File, to verify the code above wasn't modified in any way:
Non-Obfuscated example:
if(w!=='mysite.com'||check == false || typeof check == 'undefined' || check !== 587 ){
window.location.href = 'mysite.com';
}
Obfuscated:
var _0x92bb=["\x6D\x79\x73\x69\x74\x65\x2E\x63\x6F\x6D","\x75\x6E\x64\x65\x66\x69\x6E\x65\x64","\x68\x72\x65\x66","\x6C\x6F\x63\x61\x74\x69\x6F\x6E"];if(w!== _0x92bb[0]|| check== false|| typeof check== _0x92bb[1]|| check!== 587){window[_0x92bb[3]][_0x92bb[2]]= _0x92bb[0]}
I have used free online service from Google's search results for the term "Free Online JS Obfuscator:

4. Fight thieves with available methods e.g. Request a Ban from Search Engines – The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998
Here is a blog-post that describes what to do when someone is stealing your content.
https://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/04/10/what-do-you-do-when-someone-steals-your-content/
You can investigate who is doing that and report them to their partners, search engines, advertisers - to disrupt their business.
Depending on their country of origin and yours, it is maybe even possible to sue them and win.

why not check if hostname is your ?
if(window.location.hostname != 'mysite.com'){
window.location.href = 'http://google.com/';
}

Get Cognos Report Studio Locale variable with Javascript

I would like to know if there is one way of getting Cognos locale variable in a report studio javascript. I have next code for getting navigator language:
Control.prototype.getLang = function(){
if (navigator.languages != undefined)
return navigator.languages[0].substring(0, 2);
else
return navigator.language.substring(0, 2);
}
but I need to get the default language that user select in preferences.
Thanks

I was able to extract the locale set in the My Preferences for the "Product Language" setting. However, I was unable to find where Cognos stores the "Content Language" setting in JavaScript. Most of the time these will be the same.
Here's a screenshot of the settings page indicating which setting I was able to access.
If you want to find out the user's Product Language, use this JavaScript:
var report = cognos.Report.getReport('_THIS_');
var lang = report._iv.sProductLocale;
The content of the lang variable will be the locale (e.g. "en" for English).

Get "null" in IE10 localStorage if item is undefined [duplicate]

I'm using localStorage in my JS application and I was wondering why IE9 claims localStorage == undefined. As far as I know, IE8 supports it, is here any way to get it working in the new version?

Are you testing this on a local HTML file? i.e. a file:/// URL?
localStorage is only available on HTTP websites. That hasn't changed in IE9 Dev Preview.

IE 11 WORKS
All you need two do add file://127.0.0.1 to the trusted zones under the security
tab (NOTE: make sure https check box IS not checked)
add this line to the top or your script, depending on your code you may not need to unless you get could not connect to the internet.
!localStorage && (l = location, p = l.pathname.replace(/(^..)(:)/, "$1$$"), (l.href = l.protocol + "//127.0.0.1" + p));
if (typeof(Storage) != "undefined") {
// Store
localStorage.setItem("lastname", "Smith");
// Retrieve
alert(localStorage.getItem("lastname"));
} else {
alert("Sorry, your browser does not support Web Storage...");
}

Try to open the file like this
file://127.0.0.1/c$/pathtofile/file.html

Secure/Non-secure browsing issue

I am developing a Facebook app that incorporates our Brightcove (video host) players and their API. Facebook gives users the option to browse securely and this poses a little bit of a problem. As is stands, I can get the app to work properly on one of the protocols (http or https), but not both.
https://www.facebook.com/atlantafalcons?sk=app_292392080815275 (change to http:// to see it not working)
If I set the BrightcoveExperiences.js file source to https://sadmin.brightcove.com/js/BrightcoveExperiences.js then it throws errors when someone is not browsing securely. If I set it to http://admin.brightcove.com/js/BrightcoveExperiences.js then it throws errors when someone is browsing securely.
The documentation for embedding securely is here: http://support.brightcove.com/en/docs/publishing-brightcove-player-https-page
Is there a way to detect if the user is browsing securely to be able to choose which JS file to load or is there a way to force users to browse securely? Or is there another workaround for a problem like this?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Was able to come up with a solution (thanks to scibuff for recommending to check google analytics):
<script type="text/javascript">
var bJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol ) ? "https://sadmin." : "http://admin.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + bJsHost + "brightcove.com/js/BrightcoveExperiences.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>

Use a scheme-relative URI:
//admin.brightcove.com/js/BrightcoveExperiences.js
And don't use different hostnames for the SSL and non-SSL instances.
(Or have sadmin respond with a 301 redirect to admin for non-SSL requests)

I would go with Quentin's suggestion. Although, using your suggestion, you can use:
// window, top, self, document, others?
window.location.protocol
In other words:
if (window.location.protocol == 'http:') {
document.body.innerHTML = 'The page is using the http (non-secure) protocol.';
} else {
document.body.innerHTML = 'The page is using the https (secure) protocol.';
}
http://jsfiddle.net/3NREg/
Other window/document objects might work as well, depending on what you need:
// window, top, self, document, others?
if (self.location.protocol == 'http:') {
document.body.innerHTML = 'The page is using the http (non-secure) protocol.';
} else {
document.body.innerHTML = 'The page is using the https (secure) protocol.';
}

Firebug : How to make net tab persistent?

If I load new web page, the content of the old web page in net tab would all disappear.
Is there a way to make it persistent over different web page?
PS: I'm using Firebug 1.5.4.
Thanks in advance.

According to Jan Odvarko:
It's because of the following code in
tabWatcher.js
// xxxHonza, xxxJJB: web application detection. Based on domain check.
var prevDomain = persistedState ? getDomain(persistedState.location) :
null;
var domain = getDomain(location);
if (!persistedState || prevDomain != domain)
persistedState = null;
If following is commented out, it works.
//if (!persistedState || prevDomain != domain)
// persistedState = null;
Just as a note, If you are using Windows 7, the firebug extension directory path should be somethings like 'C:\Users\Jichao\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\2dlypp9o.default\extensions\firebug#software.joehewitt.com\content\firebug'.

As much as I wish this was possible, I don't think it is. Even if you clear the activation list of everything except for 1 web page, when you change tabs Firebug disappears. Even if you have it open in a separate window, it blanks out and gives you an "Activate" button.

Firebug 1.7.a3+ supports this out of the box.
It is still in alpha stage, but it is available for install:
