The <access> Element
The <access>
element provides a
simple form of access control for a deck. This
allows a deck to specify that only certain other decks may link to it
(these decks are known as referring URLs). Since
this control is performed in the browser, not the server, there is no
real security in this mechanism, and hence it’s probably of
limited use. There may be no more than one
<access> element in a deck, and it must be
the first thing inside the <head> element.
Attributes of the <access> Element
-
domain(string; optional; default same as deck’s domain) Specifies the domain (effectively, the range of servers) from which the referring deck must come. This must match against whole components (parts of the name between dots) at the end of the server name. If this attribute is omitted, its value defaults to the server from the new deck’s URL.
For example, if the attribute
domain="wml.wap.net"is specified:-
wml.wap.net Matches; access is permitted.
-
www.wml.wap.net Matches; access is permitted.
-
www.test.wml.wap.net Matches; access is permitted.
-
wapforum.org Doesn’t match; access is denied.
-
wap.net Doesn’t match the whole domain; access is denied.
-
otherwml.wap.net otherwmldoesn’t matchwml(must match whole components); access is denied.
-
-
path(string; optional; default/) Specifies the path within the referring URL that must match. (The path is the part of the URL that specifies a file or directory on the server.) This must match against whole compo nents (parts between slashes) ...
