v1.1.2 - SameSite Cookie Support

gorilla/sessions now supports the SameSite cookie attribute added in Go 1.11.

Cookies with this set (in Strict mode, preferably) are only sent on requests originating from the same origin at as the cookie domain, rather than for all requests to that domain no matter the origin.

You can set SameSite on a session by setting session.Options.SameSite to a valid value:

func MyHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	session, err := store.Get(r, "session-name")
	if err != nil {
		http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusBadRequest)
		return
	}

	// Set the SameSite mode via one of the typed constants described
	// at https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#SameSite
	session.Options = &sessions.Options{SameSite: http.SameSiteStrictMode}

	if err := session.Save(r, w); err != nil {
		http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusBadRequest)
		return
	}
}

You can read more about the SameSite attribute on Mozilla's blog, or inthe RFC itself.
