-----------------------------------------
GitHub user rnewson opened a pull request:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb-couch/pull/80
Add CSRF protection
If the request parameter `csrf` is set to `true` when successfully
acquiring a session cookie from `_session` an additional cookie
(`Csrf-token`) is returned. All requests that send this new cookie
must also send a header (`X-Csrf-Token`) with the same value. If the
cookie is sent and the header is missing or different, a 403 response
is generated.
Note that the CSRF token is signed by the server so tampering is
detected and also results in a 403 response.
