Rails 3 Csrf Patcher

There are many other possibilities, like using a <script> tag to make a cross-site request to a URL with a JSONP or JavaScript response. The response is executable code that the attacker can find a way to run, possibly extracting sensitive data. To protect against this data leakage, we disallow cross-site <script> tags. Only Ajax requests may have JavaScript responses since XmlHttpRequest is subject to the browser Same-Origin policy - meaning only your site can initiate the request.

So, this gem just extend cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection to GET requests with JavaScript responses, protecting apps from cross-origin <script> tags.

I've took all the code from here rails/rails#13345
