An origin consists of a host name, a scheme, and a port number. Web sites with the same security origin can access each other's resources for client-side scripting or databases. For example the site \c{http://www.example.com/my/page.html} is allowed to share the same database as \c{http://www.example.com/my/overview.html}, or access each other's documents when used in HTML frame sets and JavaScript. At the same time it prevents \c{http://www.malicious.com/evil.html} from accessing \c{http://www.example.com/}'s resources, because they are of a different security origin. By default local schemes like \c{file://} and \c{qrc://} are concidered to be in the same security origin, and can access each other's resources. You can add additional local schemes by using QWebSecurityOrigin::addLocalScheme(), or override the default same-origin behavior by setting QWebSettings::LocalContentCanAccessFileUrls to \c{false}. \note Local resources are by default restricted from accessing remote content, which means your \c{file://} will not be able to access \c{http://domain.com/foo.html}. You can relax this restriction by setting QWebSettings::LocalContentCanAccessRemoteUrls to \c{true}. Call QWebFrame::securityOrigin() to get the QWebSecurityOrigin for a frame in a web page, and use host(), scheme() and port() to identify the security origin. Use databases() to access the databases defined within a security origin. The disk usage of the origin's databases can be limited with setDatabaseQuota(). databaseQuota() and databaseUsage() report the current limit as well as the current usage. For more information refer to the \l{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy}{"Same origin policy" Wikipedia Article}. \sa QWebFrame::securityOrigin() */ /*! \fn QString QWebSecurityOrigin::scheme() const Returns the scheme defining the security origin. */ /*! \fn QString QWebSecurityOrigin::host() const Returns the host name defining the security origin. */ /*! \fn int QWebSecurityOrigin::port() const Returns the port number defining the security origin. */ /*! \fn qint64 QWebSecurityOrigin::databaseUsage() const Returns the number of bytes all databases in the security origin use on the disk. */ /*! \fn qint64 QWebSecurityOrigin::databaseQuota() const Returns the quota for the databases in the security origin. */ /*! \fn void QWebSecurityOrigin::setDatabaseQuota(qint64 quota) Sets the quota for the databases in the security origin to \a quota bytes. If the quota is set to a value less than the current usage, the quota will remain and no data will be purged to meet the new quota. However, no new data can be added to databases in this origin. */ /*! \fn QWebSecurityOrigin::~QWebSecurityOrigin() Destroys the security origin. */ /*! \fn QList QWebSecurityOrigin::allOrigins() Returns a list of all security origins with a database quota defined. */ /*! \fn QList QWebSecurityOrigin::databases() const Returns a list of all databases defined in the security origin. */ /*! \fn void QWebSecurityOrigin::addLocalScheme(const QString& scheme) \since 4.6 Adds the given \a scheme to the list of schemes that are considered equivalent to the \c file: scheme.

By default all local schemes are concidered to be in the same security origin, and local schemes can not access remote content. */ /*! \fn void QWebSecurityOrigin::removeLocalScheme(const QString& scheme) \since 4.6 Removes the given \a scheme from the list of local schemes. \note You can not remove the \c{file://} scheme from the list of local schemes. \sa addLocalScheme() */ /*! \fn QStringList QWebSecurityOrigin::localSchemes() \since 4.6 Returns a list of all the schemes concidered to be local.
