This gem provides a Rails engine that manages the CSP violations reported by
the client browser (when supported).
-This gem was started with CSP v1.0 specification. On Aug 9th, an editor's draft
-of v1.1 was published. This gem currently has not been modified to support it.
-However v1.1 of CSP is spec'd to be backward compatible and from my lecture of
-the spec, I can't see anything that should not work if your browser ups to the
-new version.
+As of today (Sept 14th), a new editor's draft of CSP 1.1 is available and got
+rid of the new proposed report elements. Therefore, as of today too, I'll
+publish the current version of the gem as the csp_report 1.0 version.
-**Disclaimer**
-
-This is a rough cut gem for the moment. It won't look like much in the report
-page. However, elements have a class so you can add some CSS style before I
- add some clean ones in the gem.
-
-I promise something cleaner when I'll get to v1.

What is CSP
===========
CSP (Content Security Policy) is a way to limit cross site scripting by relying
on the browser as a last line of defense. It does not mean the other anti XSS
