module ActionController # This module provides a method which will redirect browser to use HTTPS # protocol. This will ensure that user's sensitive information will be # transferred safely over the internet. You _should_ always force browser # to use HTTPS when you're transferring sensitive information such as # user authentication, account information, or credit card information. # # Note that if you are really concerned about your application security, # you might consider using +config.force_ssl+ in your config file instead. # That will ensure all the data transferred via HTTPS protocol and prevent # user from getting session hijacked when accessing the site under unsecured # HTTP protocol. module ForceSSL extend ActiveSupport::Concern include AbstractController::Callbacks module ClassMethods # Force the request to this particular controller or specified actions to be # under HTTPS protocol. # # Note that this method will not be effective on development environment. # # ==== Options # * <tt>only</tt> - The callback should be run only for this action # * <tt>except</tt> - The callback should be run for all actions except this action def force_ssl(options = {}) host = options.delete(:host) before_filter(options) do if !request.ssl? && !Rails.env.development? redirect_options = {:protocol => 'https://', :status => :moved_permanently} redirect_options.merge!(:host => host) if host redirect_options.merge!(:params => request.query_parameters) redirect_to redirect_options end end end end end end
