jbe/bsw@0 6 Sets a secret string to be used as protection against cross-site request forgery attempts. This string will be transmitted to each action via a hidden form field named "_webmcp_csrf_secret". If this function is called during an action, and there is no CGI GET/POST parameter "_webmcp_csrf_secret" already being set to the given secret, then an error will be thrown to prohibit execution of the action.
