Change subject: restapi: Add CSRF protection filter
......................................................................


Patch Set 2:

I don't know if the JavaScript engine is excluded by default in Gentoo. If it 
is I would consider it a bug. I would expect to have it available, as with any 
other major distribution of OpenJDK. You may want to fix it.

The decision of what technologies to use in the RESTAPI is indeed within the 
limits of the domain of the RESTAPI maintainers, unless it causes problems in 
other parts of the engine. This is not the case.

The extension mechanism isn't available yet, so we can't use it. Once it is 
available we can evaluate if it is appropriate or not for this purpose. Should 
it be appropriate then the RESTAPI can be changed to use it instead of calling 
the script directly.

A simple network mask isn't enough, as we don't know what is the criteria that 
the user will want to use to decide which requests are trusted. It may be the 
source address, it may be the user agent, it may be the presence of a custom 
header, etc.

So, all in all, I understand and reject your approach.
