Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for accessing network resources outside a security boundary. The present invention can provide a modules running within a security boundary (e.g., sandboxed client-side scripts) access to network resources at computer systems other than the computer system where the module originated. When network access is permitted, the properties of network request can be adjusted so that security information of the client system and the originating computer system for the module are not divulged. Thus, a module can obtain content for inclusion in a Web page from third party servers in a more secure meaner. Network e access decisions can be made based on ambient data already accessible to a host environment such that network access decisions can be made in a more automated manner.
