This is some middleware I use for my own projects. You're welcome to it if you'd like.

security_middleware.middleware.SSLMiddleware

This middleware does two things. One, any non-https requests will get a 301 to the https version of the same URL. And two, it adds a Strict-Transport-Security header to all requests with a 1 year max age.

It can be disabled with the SSL_ENABLED setting.

security_middleware.middleware.ContentSecurityPolicyMiddleware

This middleware adds the Content-Security-Policy header. For more information, html5rocks has a good tutorial.

The exact rules are governed in settings like so:

CSP_HEADER = {
    "default-src": ("https:", "'self'"),
    "img-src": ("https://cdn.example.com",),
}

and so forth. Don't forget items that need to be quoted in the header need to be double quoted in the setting "'like this'".

security_middleware.middleware.XSSProtectionMiddleware

Adds the header X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block to all requests.

security_middleware.middleware.NoSniffMiddleware

Adds the header X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to all requests.

Tips welcome. :) 13q4ZK9BgR4ZhKq27KmkuaEkay1GBEoUuS
