Rack::TwilioValidator

Rack middleware for authorizing the signature on Twilio requests. Read more about Twilio security at Twilio Security

Why

You should verify the signature in requests to your Twilio controllers for any app. Tutorials often miss this, and it's redundant to have to add it to the application layer for every app you build. Hence, middleware!

Installation

install it via rubygems:

gem install rack-twilio-validator

or put it in your Gemfile:

# Gemfile

gem 'rack-twilio-validator', :require => 'rack/twilio-validator'

Usage

In a Sinatra application, it would be something like:

# app.rb

use Rack::TwilioValidator :auth_token => "your_auth_token", :protected_path => "/twilio_switchboard/"

The auth_token is required config, whereas protected_path is optional but recommended if your application talks to both end users and Twilio.
