DESCRIPTION

This module provides a simple security filter for PSGI-based applications, so that you can filter out obvious exploit-seeking scripts.

ATTRIBUTES

rules

This is a set of rules. It can be a an array-reference or Hash::Match object containing matches against keys in the Plack environment.

It can also be a code reference for a subroutine that takes the Plack environment as an argument and returns a true value if there is a match.

handler

This is a function that is called when a match is found.

It takes the Plack environment as an argument, and returns a Plack::Response, or throws an exception for Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions.

The default handler will log a warning to the psgix.logger, and return a HTTP 400 (Bad Request) response.
