> Plug that adds various HTTP Headers to make Phoenix/Elixir app more secure

## Installation

The package can be installed from hex as:

Add plug_secex to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```
def deps do
  [{:plug_secex, "~> 0.1.3"}]
end
```

Or you can directly install it from github:

```
def deps do
  [{:plug_secex, github: "techgaun/plug_secex"}]
end
```

## Example

If you are using phoenix, you can put the plug in `web/router.ex`.

```elixir
pipeline :browser do
  plug PlugSecex
end
```

You can also specify to override or disable particular set of headers.

```elixir
pipeline :browser do
  plug PlugSecex,
    overrides: [
      "x-dns-prefetch-control": "on",
      "x-frame-options": "DENY",
      "custom-header": "value"
    ],
    except: [
      "x-powered-by"
    ]
end
```

If you need to determine one of these at run time - for instance, in order to
use a content security policy that allows resources from a location
configured in environment variables - you can pass a "module, function,
arguments" tuple; calling that function with those arguments must return a
list as shown in the previous example.

```elixir
pipeline :browser do
  plug PlugSecex,
    overrides: {MyModule, :overrides, [arg1, arg2]},
    except: {MyModule, :exceptions, [arg3]}
end
```

The supported headers and their values by default are:

```
"x-content-type-options": "nosniff",
"x-dns-prefetch-control": "off",
"strict-transport-security": "max-age=31536000",
"x-xss-protection": "1; mode=block",
"x-frame-options": "SAMEORIGIN",
"content-security-policy": "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'",
"cross-origin-window-policy": "deny",
"x-download-options": "noopen",
"x-permitted-cross-domain-policies": "none"
```

The headers that are removed by default are:

```
"x-powered-by",
"server"
```
