Important security warning

This application does not attempt to authenticate requests or differentiate between clients in any way – even for write and edit operations via the API. Do not simply expose the application to the public in your server configuration. Instead, use a network firewall to whitelist the server to authorized clients, or use a web server configuration directive (such as Apache’s <LimitExcept GET>) to set up who is allowed to POST/PUT/DELETE events.

   $ pip install git+https://github.com/unt-libraries/django-premis-event-service
