# Protecting controller actions from CSRF attacks by ensuring that all forms are coming from the current web application, not a
# forged link from another site, is done by embedding a token based on a random string stored in the session (which an attacker wouldn't know) in all
# forms and Ajax requests generated by Rails and then verifying the authenticity of that token in the controller. Only
# HTML/JavaScript requests are checked, so this will not protect your XML API (presumably you'll have a different authentication
# scheme there anyway). Also, GET requests are not protected as these should be idempotent anyway.
#
# This is turned on with the <tt>protect_from_forgery</tt> method, which will check the token and raise an
# ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken if it doesn't match what was expected. You can customize the error message in
# production by editing public/422.html. A call to this method in ApplicationController is generated by default in post-Rails 2.0
# applications.
#
# The token parameter is named <tt>authenticity_token</tt> by default. If you are generating an HTML form manually (without the
# use of Rails' <tt>form_for</tt>, <tt>form_tag</tt> or other helpers), you have to include a hidden field named like that and
# set its value to what is returned by <tt>form_authenticity_token</tt>. Same applies to manually constructed Ajax requests. To
# make the token available through a global variable to scripts on a certain page, you could add something like this to a view:
#
# <%= javascript_tag "window._token = '#{form_authenticity_token}'" %>
#
# Request forgery protection is disabled by default in test environment. If you are upgrading from Rails 1.x, add this to
# config/environments/test.rb:
#
# # Disable request forgery protection in test environment
# config.action_controller.allow_forgery_protection = false

# Here are some resources:
# * http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=1750
# * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery
#
# Keep in mind, this is NOT a silver-bullet, plug 'n' play, warm security blanket for your rails application.
# There are a few guidelines you should follow:
#
# * Keep your GET requests safe and idempotent. More reading material:
# * http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/04/24/deviant.html
# * http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9.1.1
# * Make sure the session cookies that Rails creates are non-persistent. Check in Firefox and look for "Expires: at end of session"
#
module ClassMethods
# Turn on request forgery protection. Bear in mind that only non-GET, HTML/JavaScript requests are checked.
#
# Example:
#
# class FooController < ApplicationController
# protect_from_forgery :except => :index
#
# # you can disable csrf protection on controller-by-controller basis:
# skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token
# end
#
# Valid Options:
#
# * <tt>:only/:except</tt> - Passed to the <tt>before_filter</tt> call. Set which actions are verified.
