Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11 also support CSP, but only sandbox directive, using the experimental X-Content-Security-Policy header. [15] A number of web application frameworks support CSP, for example AngularJS [16] (natively) and Django (middleware). [17] Instructions for Ruby on Rails have been posted by GitHub. [18]
