Detailed Description

The QWebSecurityOrigin class defines a security boundary for web sites.

QWebSecurityOrigin provides access to the security domains defined by web sites. 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.

### diagram

For example the site http://www.example.com/my/page.html is allowed to share the same database as 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 http://www.malicious.com/evil.html from accessing http://www.example.com/'s resources, because they are of a different security origin.

QWebSecurity also provides access to all databases defined within a security origin.

For more information refer to the "Same origin policy" Wikipedia Article.
