IsSecure

Tests whether this Cyberdog item references a secure site.

ODBoolean IsSecure ();

return value

kODTrue if the Cyberdog item references a secure site; otherwise, kODFalse.

DISCUSSION

If this Cyberdog item is opened embedded in a navigator, the navigator can call this method to determine whether to display security information to the user. The superclass implementation of this method returns kODFalse. If you are developing a Cyberdog item, you should override this method if your Cyberdog items may access data using a secure network protocol.

This method throws the kCDErrItemNoteResolved exception if the Cyberdog item is not resolved.

If you subclass CyberItem and override this method, your override must not call its inherited method; that is, your override method must implement this method's functionality completely.
