Hi Frank,

I thought about CSRF protection and the general idea already stands. We
should now figure out how we want to have it implemented and then I will
start working on it.

Hi !
I'm not a security specialist, but I recently realized that owncloud uses the referer sent by the brower in order to deal with this CSRF issue. For some browser this can prevent the user to login in some particular cases (Private Browsing, or with some security-enforcement addons). So because everything is being discussed now, and because anyway the referer can be spoofed, is it really relevant to use it as a way to secure owncloud ?

Romain.
