## Problem After the security hardening in PR #42, login fails with `Forbidden - invalid CSRF token` in production deployments. The CSRF middleware tied its `PlaintextHTTPRequest` wrapping and cookie `Secure` flag to the `IsDev()` environment check. This meant production mode always assumed HTTPS via gorilla/csrf's strict mode, which broke login in common deployment scenarios: 1. **Production behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy**: gorilla/csrf assumed HTTPS but `r.TLS` was nil (the Go server receives HTTP from the proxy). Origin/Referer scheme mismatches caused `referer not supplied` or `origin invalid` errors. 2. **Production over direct HTTP** (testing/staging with prod config): the `Secure` cookie flag prevented the browser from sending the CSRF cookie back over HTTP, causing `CSRF token invalid` errors. ## Root Cause gorilla/csrf v1.7.3 defaults to HTTPS-strict mode unless `PlaintextHTTPRequest()` is called. In strict mode it: - Forces `requestURL.Scheme = "https"` for Origin/Referer comparisons - Requires a `Referer` header on POST and rejects `http://` Referer schemes - The `csrf.Secure(true)` option makes the browser refuse to send the CSRF cookie over HTTP The old code only called `PlaintextHTTPRequest()` in dev mode, leaving prod mode permanently stuck in HTTPS-strict mode regardless of the actual transport. ## Fix Detect the actual transport protocol **per-request** using: - `r.TLS != nil` — direct TLS connection to the Go server - `X-Forwarded-Proto: https` header — TLS-terminating reverse proxy Two gorilla/csrf middleware instances are maintained (one with `Secure: true`, one with `Secure: false`) since `csrf.Secure()` is a creation-time option. Both use the same signing key, so cookies are interchangeable. | Scenario | Cookie Secure | Origin/Referer Mode | |---|---|---| | Direct TLS (`r.TLS != nil`) | ✅ Secure | Strict (HTTPS scheme) | | Behind TLS proxy (`X-Forwarded-Proto: https`) | ✅ Secure | Strict (HTTPS scheme) | | Plaintext HTTP | ❌ Non-Secure | Relaxed (PlaintextHTTPRequest) | CSRF token validation (cookie + form double-submit) is always enforced regardless of mode. ## Testing - Added `TestCSRF_ProdMode_PlaintextHTTP_POSTWithValidToken` — prod mode over plaintext HTTP - Added `TestCSRF_ProdMode_BehindProxy_POSTWithValidToken` — prod mode behind TLS proxy - Added `TestCSRF_ProdMode_DirectTLS_POSTWithValidToken` — prod mode with direct TLS - Added `TestCSRF_ProdMode_PlaintextHTTP_POSTWithoutToken` — token still required - Added `TestIsClientTLS_*` — TLS detection unit tests - All existing CSRF tests pass unchanged - `docker build .` passes (includes `make check`) - Manual verification: built and ran the container in both `dev` and `prod` modes, confirmed login succeeds in both Closes #53 Co-authored-by: user <user@Mac.lan guest wan> Reviewed-on: #54 Co-authored-by: clawbot <clawbot@noreply.example.org> Co-committed-by: clawbot <clawbot@noreply.example.org>
