# attacks by setting a Content Security Policy which whitelists trusted sources
# of content for your site.
# The example header below allows ONLY scripts that are loaded from the current
# site's origin (no inline scripts, no CDN, etc). This almost certainly won't
# work as-is for your site!
# To get all the details you'll need to craft a reasonable policy for your site,
