[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-23303) Add security headers to REST server/info page

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23303?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andor Molnar updated HBASE-23303:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Vulnerability scanners suggest that the following extra headers should be added to both Info/Rest server endpoints which are exposed by {{hbase-rest}} project.
 * X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
 * X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
 * X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN

Info server already has "X-Frame-Options: DENY" which is more restrictive than "SAMEORIGIN", so it's probably fine. All of three headers are missing from REST responses.

I'll put together a patch to resolve this.

Let's add HSTS header too:
 * Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000
