The follwing class allow to do this with a FilterProvider
public IEnumerable<Filter> GetFilters(ControllerContext controllerContext, ActionDescriptor actionDescriptor)
{
List<Filter> result = new List<Filter>();
string incomingVerb = controllerContext.HttpContext.Request.HttpMethod;
if (String.Equals(incomingVerb, "POST", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
result.Add(new Filter(new ValidateAntiForgeryTokenAttribute(), FilterScope.Global, null));
}
return result;
}
To use the above class add this to the RegisterGlobalFilters
method in global.asx
file:
...
FilterProviders.Providers.Add(new AntiForgeryTokenFilterProvider ());
..
Doing this, each [HttpPost]
will check if the Html.AntiForgeryToken()
is in the view.
