This document compares the representation of "secure context required" in MDN pages and in the WebIDL in the specifications, as exposed by the webref/idl package.
Some web platform features are only usable in a secure context. This is communicated in WebIDL by a SecureContextflag, and in MDN pages by the inclusion of a SecureContext_Header macro. This post compares the information in each of these two sources, with a view to understanding whether and how MDN might use the IDL, via the webref/idl package, instead of the macro.
It relies on a tool securecontext-checker. This has its own documentation that I won't describe here: however I'd welcome some review of its code to check I'm not making mistakes. The tool generates two objects:
- one sorts Web/API features into two arrays,
secureandnotSecure, based on the presence of the macro in the MDN page source - one sorts Web/API features into two arrays,
secureandnotSecure, based on the presence of theSecureContextflag in the IDL.
We then compare both sets of arrays for anomalies:
- items that are marked secure in MDN, but marked not secure in webref
- items that are marked secure in webref, but marked not secure in MDN
- items that are marked secure in MDN, but not listed at all in webref
The full results are given in the "Results" section. Here I'll pick out some of the main points.
On MDN, overview and guide pages, like Cookie Store API or Using the Geolocation API, have the secure context banner. MDN can't use WebIDL for this, because WebIDL only refers to concrete web platform features.
In the interests of simplicity, I think it would fine to stop having secure context banners on these pages. If MDN did want to keep them:
- it could add them manually
- it might be able to derive them from GroupData: say if the interfaces in GroupData are secure context, then the overview page and associated guide pages are secure context too. This might give us some counterintuitive results though.
Because MDN doesn't represent globals properly, it can't map IDL structure to pages on globals. For example, caches doesn't exist in the WebIDL, where it is defined as an attribute of the WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope mixin. So MDN can't derive its secure context state from the IDL.
This is another argument for representing globals properly: https://github.com/orgs/mdn/discussions/360.
MDN treats events as members of interfaces. So, for instance, MDN has a page for the devicemotion event on Window, which is marked as secure. WebIDL doesn't list events in this way though. However, it does list on-* event hander attributes, so I have dealt with this by looking for event handler attributes like the ondevicemotion attribute, and mangling the name to match the MDN slug. This seems to work pretty well.
Obviously, nonstandard features are not in the WebIDL, and if MDN wants to mark them secure context, it has to do so manually. For example, FileSystemHandle.remove(). There are not many of these, and the most common source of them seem to be features that were removed from the specs, like PaymentAddress.
Some web platform features are not specified as secure context required in the IDL, but are implicitly secure context required because they need a permission, and permissions are always denied if we are not in a secure context. For example, Notification. It's a bit unclear what we should do here.
This is another place where MDN diverges from the WebIDL. WebIDL can mark some interfaces setlike, maplike, or iterable which implicitly gives them additional members, without representing these members in the WebIDL.
MDN does not represent these features consistently: different interfaces do different things. When an MDN interface represents them by adding the implicit members to the interface, like FileSystemDirectoryHandle.entries, then we won't see a corresponding WebIDL entry.
This is related to openwebdocs/project#159, which is about finding a consistent MDN representation for these things.
If MDN did want to model them by adding separate pages, we could update the WebIDL-processing code to synthesise entries for them.
There are some places where MDN has chosen to mark as secure context features which are not (technically) secure context, but are (effectively) secure context. This then disagrees with the WebIDL.
For example, Geolocation.getCurrentPosition() does not, technically, require secure context, but because its implementation constructs a GeolocationPosition object, and GeolocationPosition does require secure context, then getCurrentPosition() does effectively require a secure context.
There aren't that many of these cases, and I think it would be OK to stop marking them secure context.
In this section we'll present the results and add some notes about them.
This lists all features that are marked secure context in MDN, and not marked secure context in WebIDL (but do exist in WebIDL).

Most of these discrepancies seem to be either:
- editorial choices in MDN, like
Geolocation.getCurrentPosition() - cases where features are not marked secure context required in the Web IDL, but require a permission, so are implicitly secure context required
This is the other side: features that are marked secure context in WebIDL, and not marked secure context in MDN (but do exist in MDN).

Again I haven't looked at all of these, but I've looked at a lot, and all the ones I have seen are errors in MDN, that would be fixed by using webref/idl as a source.
One common pattern is where an interface is marked secure context required. In this case we want to mark the interface and all its members secure context required, but often MDN only marks the interface, and not the members. See for example ScreenDetailed.
This lists all features that are marked secure context in MDN, and don't exist in WebIDL.

Most of these are because the feature is nonstandard. Apart from these:
- The
FileSystemDirectoryHandlemembers are from the way MDN handlesiterable. - The
cachesmember is because MDN does not handle globals properly. - The
Element.pointerrawupdate_eventis I think an error in MDN: this event does not belong on theElementinterface.
