>
> To protect against CSRF attacks, HADOOP-12691 introduces a CSRF filter that
> will require a specific HTTP header to be sent with every REST API call. This
> will affect all API consumers from web apps to CLIs and curl.
> Since CSRF is primarily a browser based attack we can try and minimize the
> impact on non-browser clients.
> This enhancement will provide additional configuration for identifying
> non-browser useragents and skipping the enforcement of the header requirement
> for anything identified as a non-browser. This will largely limit the impact
> to browser based PUT and POST calls when configured appropriately.
