What will happen if you set `X_FRAME_OPTIONS = 'ALLOW-FROM https://example.com'` in Django settings?
ADjango will send X-Frame-Options header with ALLOW-FROM and the URL
BDjango will ignore the setting and use SAMEORIGIN
CDjango will raise a configuration error at startup
DDjango will send DENY header instead
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand ALLOW-FROM support in Django

    Django does not support ALLOW-FROM with a URL in X_FRAME_OPTIONS setting.

  2. Step 2: Default fallback behavior

    If an unsupported value is set, Django falls back to SAMEORIGIN silently.

  3. Final Answer:

    Django will ignore the setting and use SAMEORIGIN -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Unsupported ALLOW-FROM falls back to SAMEORIGIN [OK]
Quick Trick: ALLOW-FROM is not supported; Django defaults to SAMEORIGIN [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Expecting ALLOW-FROM to work with URL
  • Thinking Django raises error on invalid value
  • Assuming DENY is fallback
