# API Headers Testing Scripts
This directory contains scripts for testing the security headers and API compatibility of the Ploughshares application.
## Scripts Overview
1. **test_headers.sh** - Tests general HTTP headers for both UI and API endpoints
2. **test_api_curl.sh** - Tests API endpoints with various curl commands and parameters
3. **test_api_headers.sh** - Specifically analyzes security headers for API compatibility
## Usage
All scripts accept an optional URL parameter. If not provided, they default to `http://localhost:5005`.
```bash
# Test against local development environment
./test_headers.sh
# Test against production
./test_headers.sh https://ploughshares.nixc.us
```
## Security Headers Analysis
The scripts check for the following important headers:
### Content Security Policy (CSP)
- Ensures `unsafe-inline` and `unsafe-eval` are present for API compatibility
- Verifies `connect-src` includes wildcard (*) for API access
- Checks critical protections like `object-src: 'none'` and `frame-ancestors: 'none'`
### CORS Headers
- `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`
- `Access-Control-Allow-Methods`
- `Access-Control-Allow-Headers`
### Resource Policies
- `Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy` should be `cross-origin` for API endpoints
- `Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy` should be `same-origin` for UI endpoints
## Troubleshooting
If API requests are failing, check the following:
1. **CSP Issues**: The Content-Security-Policy header must include:
- `'unsafe-inline'` and `'unsafe-eval'` in script-src
- `*` in connect-src
- `data:` and `blob:` in appropriate directives
2. **CORS Issues**: API endpoints must have:
- `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` (or specific origins)
- `Access-Control-Allow-Methods` with appropriate HTTP methods
- `Access-Control-Allow-Headers` with at least `Content-Type` and `Authorization`
3. **Resource Policy Issues**: API endpoints should have:
- `Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy: cross-origin`
## Current Configuration
The current configuration uses a permissive CSP that works for both UI and API routes:
```python
csp = {
'default-src': ["'self'", "'unsafe-inline'", "'unsafe-eval'", "data:", "blob:"],
'script-src': ["'self'", "'unsafe-inline'", "'unsafe-eval'"] + ([f"'sha256-{CSP_JS_HASH}'"] if CSP_JS_HASH else []),
'style-src': ["'self'", "'unsafe-inline'"] +
([f"'sha256-{CSP_CSS_HASH}'"] if CSP_CSS_HASH else []) +
([f"'sha256-{CSP_CUSTOM_CSS_HASH}'"] if CSP_CUSTOM_CSS_HASH else []),
'img-src': ["'self'", "data:", "blob:"],
'font-src': ["'self'", "data:"],
'connect-src': ["'self'", "*"],
'manifest-src': "'self'",
'object-src': "'none'", # Still explicitly disallow objects
'frame-ancestors': "'none'", # Still prevent framing
'base-uri': "'self'",
'form-action': "'self'"
}
```
CORS headers are added for API routes in an after_request handler:
```python
@app.after_request
def add_api_headers(response):
if request.path.startswith('/api/'):
# Add CORS headers for API routes
response.headers['Access-Control-Allow-Origin'] = '*'
response.headers['Access-Control-Allow-Methods'] = 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS'
response.headers['Access-Control-Allow-Headers'] = 'Content-Type, Authorization'
response.headers['Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy'] = 'cross-origin'
else:
# For UI routes, add additional security headers
for header, value in additional_headers.items():
response.headers[header] = value
return response
```
