Sorry, but I didn't find
"sub-resources" in my Webster's.
Could we please have a definition or a link
to a definition?
In general in documentation for computing,
or other technical documentation, or any
serious writing on any subject, we should
avoid undefined terminology.
Sorry to be critical, but computer security
is a serious subject; since all it takes is
one little gap to have a terrible
computer virus infection, we need to be
quite clear right down to the level of
each little issue, quite clear and
explicit.
So far this year, I've spent over half
my time fighting viruses. Bummer.
- justinschuh 12y agoA subresource is basically additional content that a page includes via a URL (e.g. script, iframe, images). The problem underlying this is that any page on the web can currently probe and then attack devices and servers on your internal network or local host. So, the proposal is to block that by preventing remote websites from navigating to or including sub-resources from anything on your internal network or local host (unless some explicit opt-in or exception is configured).
