  # Controller actions are protected from Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks
  # by including a token in the rendered html for your application. This token is
  # stored as a random string in the session, to which an attacker does not have
  # access. When a request reaches your application, \Rails verifies the received
  # token with the token in the session. Only HTML and JavaScript requests are checked,
  # so this will not protect your XML API (presumably you'll have a different
  # authentication scheme there anyway). Also, GET requests are not protected as these
  # should be idempotent.
  #
  # It's important to remember that XML or JSON requests are also affected and if
  # you're building an API you'll need something like:
  #
  #   class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  #     protect_from_forgery
  #     skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, if: :json_request?
  #
  #     protected
  #
  #     def json_request?
  #       request.format.json?
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # CSRF protection is turned on with the <tt>protect_from_forgery</tt> method,
  # which checks the token and resets the session if it doesn't match what was expected.
  # A call to this method is generated for new \Rails applications by default.
  #
  # The token parameter is named <tt>authenticity_token</tt> by default. The name and
  # value of this token must be added to every layout that renders forms by including
  # <tt>csrf_meta_tags</tt> in the html +head+.
  #
  # Learn more about CSRF attacks and securing your application in the
  # {Ruby on Rails Security Guide}[http://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html].
