Hi,

I have registered a blueprint for adding http security headers - 
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/http-security-headers

Reason for introducing this change - I work for AT&T cloud project - Network 
Cloud (Earlier known as AT&T integrated Cloud). As part of working there we 
have introduced this change within all the services as kind of a downstream 
change but would like to see it a part of upstream community. While we did not 
face any major threats without this change but during our investigation process 
we found that if dealing with web services we should maximize the security as 
much as possible and came up with a list of HTTP security headers that we 
should include as part of the OpenStack services. I would like to introduce 
this change as part of cinder to start off and then propagate this to all the 
services.

Some reference links which might give more insight into this:

  *   https://www.keycdn.com/blog/http-security-headers/
  *   
https://securityintelligence.com/an-introduction-to-http-response-headers-for-security/
Please let me know if this looks good and whether it can be included as part of 
Cinder followed by other services. More details on how the implementation will 
be done is mentioned as part of the blueprint but any better ideas for 
implementation is welcomed too !!

Thanks and Regards,
Nishant
