How to Use This Tool

Serialize explicit directive rows without claiming the resulting policy is secure. Convert one CSP directive per line into a one-line response-header value, preserving source tokens and selecting enforce or report-only mode.

The exact task

Copying a multiline policy directly into server configuration can introduce missing separators, while a visual formatter must not imply that broad sources are safe. This page transforms only directive rows, mode: enforce or report-only. It does not fetch a remote resource, inspect an account, guess an omitted schema or claim that syntactically tidy output is operationally safe.

Exact inputDocumented ruleReviewable output
Three input rows become default-src 'self'; img-src 'self' https:; object-src 'none' under the Content-Security-Policy header.

Transformation rule

Trim each nonblank row, validate a directive-name token plus at least one source token, preserve token order, and join directives with semicolon-space. The default fixture is executable, so a future change that alters punctuation, ordering, escaping or validation will fail before publication. Try a small representative sample first and compare every generated token with the source.

How to interpret the output

Review the serialized value token by token and deploy report-only first when changing a real site's policy; formatting success is not a security assessment. The supporting outputs—response header name, directive count—make the transformation auditable rather than presenting one opaque block to copy.

Assumptions

  • Each nonblank line begins with one CSP directive name.
  • Source expressions are already chosen by the user.
  • Directive order is preserved exactly.

Keep the original text unchanged until the result has been tested in the destination system. Browser processing protects against an upload by this calculator, but it does not make sensitive material appropriate to paste into an untrusted device or extension.

Limitations and safety boundary

It does not validate every CSP grammar production, merge duplicate directives, analyze bypasses, fetch resources or recommend a secure allowlist. This is a preparation and review tool, not a standards-complete parser, security assessment, legal determination or production deployment system.

Source and verification

The transformation rule was checked against W3C Content Security Policy Level 3 on 2026-08-26. Recheck the destination specification when its grammar can change. All processing here runs in the current browser tab; ecech receives no input through a calculation API.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does CSP Header Converter do?
It converts directive rows, mode: enforce or report-only into one-line csp value, response header name, directive count under the displayed rule.
What known result verifies CSP Header Converter?
Three input rows become default-src 'self'; img-src 'self' https:; object-src 'none' under the Content-Security-Policy header.
Does valid output prove the policy or file is safe?
It does not validate every CSP grammar production, merge duplicate directives, analyze bypasses, fetch resources or recommend a secure allowlist.
Which assumption matters most?
Each nonblank line begins with one CSP directive name.
Which source defines the syntax?
The recorded reference is W3C Content Security Policy Level 3, reviewed 2026-08-26.
Is the pasted text uploaded?
No ecech processing API receives it; the JavaScript transformation runs in this browser tab.
