If you're talking about getting the path from this, then you can't. This tag is sandboxed pretty tightly, so that it doesn't leave open a security hole for people to exploit.

Looks like it off-late, new versions of web browser doesn't send this information to the server, for security purposes.

Have a look at these discussion:
