<?php defined('BASEPATH') or exit('No direct script access allowed');

use Virdiggg\HeaderCi3\Headers;

class App extends CI_Controller
{
	private $headers;
	public function __construct()
	{
		parent::__construct();
	}

	public function testing1()
	{
		$this->headers = new Headers();
		$this->headers->setHeaders();
		return;
	}

	public function testing2()
	{
		$this->headers = new Headers();
		$this->headers->setContentSecurityPolicy(["default-src 'self'"]);
		$this->headers->setHeaders();
		echo 1;
		return;
	}

	public function testing3()
	{
		$this->headers = new Headers();
		$this->headers->setXDNSPrefetchControl('on');
		$this->headers->setHeaders();
		echo 1;
		return;
	}

	public function test_header()
	{
		$this->headers = new Headers();
		echo 1;
		return;
	}

	public function test_no_header()
	{
		echo 1;
		return;
	}
}

EXPLANATIONS

  • Header X-Powered-By will always be removed once you load this library.
  • This will use all the default HTTP Headers
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify Content-Security-Policy header, a powerful allow-list of what can happen on your page which mitigates many attacks. Be careful when using this as this can break your page if you're using 3rd party library such as FontAwesome. Parameter is an array.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setContentSecurityPolicy([array]);
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy header, it helps process-isolate your page. Parameter is a string.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setCrossOriginOpenerPolicy('string');
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy header, it blocks others from loading your resources cross-origin. Parameter is a string.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setCrossOriginResourcePolicy('string');
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy header, it configures embedding cross-origin resources into the document. Parameter is a string.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setCrossOriginResourcePolicy('string');
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify Origin-Agent-Cluster header, it changes process isolation to be origin-based. Parameter is a string.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setOriginAgentCluster('string');
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify Referrer-Policy header, it controls the Referer header. Parameter is a string.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setReferrerPolicy('string');
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify Strict-Transport-Security header, it tells browsers to prefer HTTPS. Parameter is a string.
  • Make sure whether you have CONST ENVIRONMENT or not, if you are not, this will create it's own ENVIRONMENT.
  • If ENVIRONMENT = 'production' (most likely not localhost), it will add this header. Otherwise, no.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setStrictTransportSecurity('string');
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify X-Content-Type-Options header, it help avoids MIME sniffing. Parameter is a string.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setXContentTypeOptions('string');
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify X-DNS-Prefetch-Control header, it controls DNS prefetching. Parameter is a string.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setXDNSPrefetchControl('string');
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify X-Download-Options header, it forces downloads to be saved (Internet Explorer only). Parameter is a string.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setXDownloadOptions('string');
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify X-Frame-Options header, a legacy header that mitigates clickjacking attacks. Parameter is a string.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setXFrameOptions('string');
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies header, it controls cross-domain behavior for Adobe products, like Acrobat. Parameter is a string.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setXPermittedCrossDomainPolicies('string');
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify X-XSS-Protection header, a legacy header that tries to mitigate XSS attacks, but makes things worse, so we disables it. Parameter is a string.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setXXSSProtection('string');
$this->headers->setHeaders();
  • This will modify Permissions-Policy header, it provides mechanisms for web developers to explicitly declare what functionality can and cannot be used on a website. Parameter is a string.
$this->headers = new Headers();
$this->headers->setPermissionPolicy('string');
$this->headers->setHeaders();
