## isLocalResource

isLocalResource( String file ) → boolean

return true if the resource is local, and can therefore be trusted. This was introduced to secure the server, where an Autoplot there could be used to access local resources. This returns true for file:/ references. Note this will also return true for sftp since the reference may utilize keys private to the server. Note too that a .jyds script that is not local could attempt to use local resources. For this reason there is JythonDataSourceFactory.hasLocalReferences. "upload" is another magic element. Paths containing "upload" are considered remote. This is to allow areas where content is uploaded.

### Parameters

file - an Autoplot URI.

### Returns:

true if the uri is a reference to a local resource.
