  # 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>.
  #
  # 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

  # 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.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"
