Rate Limiter

Prevent abuse of your servers by returning status 429 (Too Many Requests) once the specified number of requests has been hit (per time period).

Example

In the init() block of a controller, add the following before any filters (times are expressed in seconds):

rateLimiter(periodLength=3, maxRequests=10, banLength=60, allowedIPs="192.168.0.1");

The plugin runs as a filter. Ensure you call the plugin setup function before any other filters. The 'only' and 'except' arguments are passed through.
