Description

Add HttpOnly flag to response cookies.

When you tag a cookie with the HttpOnly flag, it tells the browser that this particular cookie should only be accessed by the server. Any attempt to access the cookie from client script is strictly forbidden. HttpOnly cookies make huge classes of common XSS attacks much harder to pull off.
