Rack::SecureCookies

Rack middleware to set the secure flag on your rack app's cookies.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'secure_cookies'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Requirements

To work properly, this middlware must be inserted after your cookie middlware.

Usage

In config.ru:

use CookieMiddleware
use Rack::SecureCookies

run YourApp

For Rails applications, you typically want to flag cookies as secure only in production and staging environments. For example, config/environments/production.rb might include:

config.middleware.insert_after ActionDispatch::Cookies, Rack::SecureCookies

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
