I'm creating an iframe on a page, and in the src attribute, when I make a link (with link .), it just does not open.
For example:
<iframe src="http://www.google.com"></iframe>
This opens only the iframe's box boundary with absolutely nothing in it, it seems like it does not accept links in SRC ... How can I do this?
There are sites that in fact can not be shown inside iframes. This is because these sites have "turned on" a security option called X-Frame-Options .
This X-Frame-Options is a header (you can say this) if it is one of the configuration parameters), and tells the Browser whether or not he is authorized to display the contents of that site in cases where the iframe and the source site are running in different domains.
The official ruling of the regulatory body (RFC7034) is:
To improve the protection of web applications against clickjacking , this document describes the
X-Frame-OptionsHTTP header field, which declares a policy, communicated from the server to the client browser, if the browser may display the transmitted content in frames that are part of other web pages.
I would translate this:
To improve the protection of web applications against clickjacking , the document informs the HTTP header
X-Frame-Options, which declares a policy or rule, communicated from the server to the client, about whether the browser can display the content in elements<frame>,<iframe>or<object>inserted in other web pages.
