You should use protection!
This gem protects against typical web attacks.
Should work for all Rack apps, including Rails.
# Usage
Use all protections you probably want to use:
``` ruby
# config.ru
require 'rack/protection'
use Rack::Protection
run MyApp
```
Skip a single protection middleware:
``` ruby
# config.ru
require 'rack/protection'
use Rack::Protection, :except => :path_traversal
run MyApp
```
Use a single protection middleware:
``` ruby
# config.ru
require 'rack/protection'
use Rack::Protection::AuthenticityToken
run MyApp
```
