For example\n\nscript-src sets allowed sources for JavaScript. style-src sets allowed sources for CSS stylesheets. img-src sets allowed sources for images.\n\nOne special fetch directive is default-src, which sets a fallback policy for all resources whose directives are not explicitly listed.\n\nFor the complete set of fetch directives, see the reference documentation.\n\nEach fetch directive is specified as either the single keyword 'none' or one or more _source expressions_, separated by spaces. When more than one source expression is listed: if any of the methods allow the resource, then the resource is allowed.\n\nFor example, the CSP below sets two fetch directives\n\ndefault-src is given the single source expression 'self' img-src is given two source expressions: 'self' and example.com\n\nCSP diagram showing source expressions\n\nThe effect of this is that\n\nimages must be either same-origin with the document, or loaded from example.com all other resources must be same-origin with the document.\n\nIn the next few sections we'll describe some of the ways you can use source expressions to control resource loads. Note that although we're describing them separately, these expressions can in general be combined: for example, a single fetch directive may include nonces as well as hostnames.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
