+module ActionController
+ # This module provides a method which will redirects browser to use HTTPS
+ # protocol. This will ensure that user's sensitive information will be
+ # transferred safely over the internet. You _should_ always force browser
+ # to use HTTPS when you're transferring sensitive information such as
+ # user authentication, account information, or credit card information.
+ #
+ # Note that if you really concern about your application safety, you might
+ # consider using +config.force_ssl+ in your configuration config file instead.
+ # That will ensure all the data transferred via HTTPS protocol and prevent
+ # user from getting session hijacked when accessing the site under unsecured
+ # HTTP protocol.
