.NET client - exclude sensitive headers

We use the .NET client, and we log on a site which uses HTTP Basic Authentication.

Basic Authentication sends an Authorization header, which includes sensitive information - effectively, the username and password in plaintext! And this information is then persisted in Raygun.

Is there a way to exclude this information from being stored - perhaps a way of blocking specific HTTP headers from being logged? I can fork the project and probably add exclusion patterns fairly quickly, but didn't want to do this if the possibility already exists.

Great suggestion Andrew. We'll look at making it so that our current filtering will apply to HTTP header keys as well (at present it only filters out form values by key).

We'll update this thread once it's in the provider.

Thanks again,

Hi Andrew,

Just letting you know that the feature is available on a branch in the GitHub repo (it's called filter-headers). You can grab this and run build.bat if you'd like to try it immediately. We're holding off on deploying this now due to the weekend, but after a thorough test on Monday it will be available from NuGet.

Regards,

Callum Gavin

Brilliant, thank you - the commit looks great. I'll look forward to the nuget push. Thanks again!

Is this available in Nuget yet? If not what is the link to the github repo?

So how would I exclude something that is included in the server variable section?

I need to remove AUTH_PASS.

This is another feature that we'd need to add to the provider, but is a simple one to add so we should be able to get it out in the next release. I'll let you know when this has been achieved and a new version is available from NuGet.

That would be great if you can let me know when that feature is available.

Is there any way we can do this in our Rails app? We have some data in our headers we'd like filtered out as well.
