Re: [w3c/ServiceWorker] Service worker client URL discrepancy (#1515)

Hi, 

I have initially opened the Issue in the soft-navigarion initiative. However this seems to be the right place. 

We are using the client.url to decide for any sub resources of a given page if we want to fetch and cache specific sub resources of a page or want to bypass the service worker logic entirely. There exists many security tools like fraud protection/bot detection etc. which do not handle the presence of a service worker properly. 

A current URL can help here a lot to detect if a user is entering auch a area with a soft navigation where the service worker should bypass any fetch handling. 

Also the scope of a service worker can't protect us in this case, since it also doesn't get updated properly.
