Feature: Filter sensitive data Note: this config option is also available as `define_cassette_placeholder` to reflect the fact that it is useful for more than just sensitive data. The `filter_sensitive_data` configuration option can be used to prevent sensitive data from being written to your cassette files. This may be important if you commit your cassettes files to source control and do not want your sensitive data exposed. Pass the following arguments to `filter_sensitive_data`: - A substitution string. This is the string that will be written to the cassettte file as a placeholder. It should be unique and you may want to wrap it in special characters like `{ }` or `< >`. - A symbol specifying a tag (optional). If a tag is given, the filtering will only be applied to cassettes with the given tag. - A block. The block should return the sensitive text that you want replaced with the substitution string. If your block accepts an argument, the HTTP interaction will be yielded so that you can dynamically specify the sensitive text based on the interaction (see the last scenario for an example of this). When the interactions are replayed, the sensitive text will replace the substitution string so that the interaction will be identical to what was originally recorded. You can specify as many filterings as you want.
