html viewer or add tile --> web content shows "refused to connect"

[jprousseau]

If i use for example

<iframe width="1591" height="1000" src="https://exceleratorbi.com.au/extending-power-bi-r-visuals/" frameborder="0"></iframe>

it works

but for

<iframe width="1591" height="1000" src="https://www.google.co.za/" frameborder="0"></iframe>

it says refused to connect

Hi @jprousseau ,

I have pressed F12 to get more details, it said: Refused to display 'https://www.google.co.za/' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'.

To my knowledge,X-Frame-Options is a header included in the response to the request to state if the domain requested will allow itself to be displayed within a frame. It has nothing to do with javascript or HTML, and cannot be changed by the originator of the request.

This website (https://www.google.co.za/) has set this header to disallow it to be displayed in an iframe. There is nothing a client can do to stop this behaviour.

Refer to:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Frame-Options
