# Controller actions are protected from Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks
# by including a token in the rendered html for your application. This token is
# stored as a random string in the session, to which an attacker does not have
# access. When a request reaches your application, \Rails verifies the received
# token with the token in the session. Only HTML and 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.
#
# CSRF protection is turned on with the protect_from_forgery method,
# which checks the token and resets the session if it doesn't match what was expected.
# A call to this method is generated for new \Rails applications by default.
# You can customize the error message by editing public/422.html.
#
# The token parameter is named authenticity_token by default. The name and
# value of this token must be added to every layout that renders forms by including
# csrf_meta_tags in the html +head+.
#
# Learn more about CSRF attacks and securing your application in the
# {Ruby on Rails Security Guide}[http://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html].
