//! Security and privacy headers for all outgoing responses.
//!
//! The [`Shield`] fairing provides a typed interface for injecting HTTP
//! security and privacy headers into all outgoing responses. It takes some
//! inspiration from [helmetjs], a similar piece of middleware for [express].

//! # Supported Headers
//!
//! | HTTP Header | Description | Policy | Default? |
//! | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -------------- | -------- |
//! | [X-XSS-Protection] | Prevents some reflected XSS attacks. | [`XssFilter`] | ✗ |
//! | [X-Content-Type-Options] | Prevents client sniffing of MIME type. | [`NoSniff`] | ✔ |
//! | [X-Frame-Options] | Prevents [clickjacking]. | [`Frame`] | ✔ |
//! | [Strict-Transport-Security] | Enforces strict use of HTTPS. | [`Hsts`] | ? |
//! | [Expect-CT] | Enables certificate transparency. | [`ExpectCt`] | ✗ |
//! | [Referrer-Policy] | Enables referrer policy. | [`Referrer`] | ✗ |
//! | [X-DNS-Prefetch-Control] | Controls browser DNS prefetching. | [`Prefetch`] | ✗ |
//! | [Permissions-Policy] | Allows or block browser features. | [`Permission`] | ✔ |
//!
//! <small>? If TLS is enabled in a non-debug profile, HSTS is automatically
//! enabled with its default policy and a warning is logged at liftoff.</small>

//! # Usage
//!
//! By default, [`Shield::default()`] is attached to all instances Rocket. To
//! change the default, including removing all `Shield` headers, attach a
//! configured instance of [`Shield`]:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
//! use rocket::shield::Shield;
//!
//! #[launch]
//! fn rocket() -> _ {
//! // Remove all `Shield` headers.
//! rocket::build().attach(Shield::new())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Each header can be configured individually. To enable a particular header,
//! call the chainable [`enable()`](shield::Shield::enable()) method
//! on an instance of `Shield`, passing in the configured policy type.
//! Similarly, to disable a header, call the chainable
//! [`disable()`](shield::Shield::disable()) method on an instance of
//! `Shield`:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
//! use time::Duration;
//!
//! use rocket::http::uri::Uri;
//! use rocket::shield::{Shield, Referrer, Prefetch, ExpectCt, NoSniff};
//!
//! let report_uri = uri!("https://report.rocket.rs");
//! let shield = Shield::default()
//! .enable(Referrer::NoReferrer)
//! .enable(Prefetch::Off)
//! .enable(ExpectCt::ReportAndEnforce(Duration::days(30), report_uri))
//! .disable::<NoSniff>();
//! ```
//!
//! # FAQ
//!
//! * **Which policies should I choose?**
//!
//! See the links in the table above for individual header documentation. The
//! [helmetjs] docs are also a good resource, and [OWASP] has a collection of
//! references on these headers.
//!
//! * **Do I need any headers beyond what `Shield` enables by default?**
//!
//! Maybe! The other headers may protect against many important
//! vulnerabilities. Please consult their documentation and other resources to
//! determine if they are needed for your project.
