[Owncloud] Introducing device tracking feature to ownCloud was: ideas for GSoC 2013

[Bernhard Posselt]

First of, cheers and ty for using the framework :)

I must admit defeat :D

They say there are only two hard things in software development:

* naming
* caching

It seems I failed in naming: You are the second person who turns of CSRF 
checks by copying(?) the main controller method comments. Was this your 
intention? If not i need to fix the comments in the apptemplate.

Some small things:
* you can access POST variables by using $this->params('key') instead of 
$_POST['key'] in controllers. This helps you to write unittests ;)
* theres a $this->renderJSON() shortcut for returning JSON
* for a simple response, just use the Response object instead of 
TextResponse

Other than that I'm impressed :) I normally find a lot things to nag on 
but this is really good code ;)
