This is to # prevent attackers from changing the locations of resources loaded # from relative URLs. # # If you want to use the `` element, then `base-uri 'self'` # can be used instead. # # (3) Form submissions are only allowed from the current website by # setting: `form-action 'self'`. # # (4) Prevents all websites (including your own) from embedding your # webpages within e.g. the `
