Why does rails keep installing cookies on users machines, even if I am not ussing th session variable for anything? How do I stop this? Thanks, Scott -- Easily help charity when you shop: www.GiveTeam.org I''m a member of the Give Team, are you?

Does anybody know how to access the domain of a cookie from inside rails? I am try to integrate phpbb forums into my site and one of the things phpbb does is store a cookie. The forums are at forums.domain.com and the site is www.domain.com so i needed to set the cookie domain in phpbb to just be ".domain.com" so both sites can access it. The trouble is when using cookies[] in rails,

In the initial version of my application I am just going to require cookies - down the road _considering_ changing that and providing something that works without. Anyway, this is somewhat of a two part question 1. Does this approach make sense or is there a better way typically used? Just have a before_filter in my application.rb to verify that the :_session_id cookie is present. If it

Hello, I''m having trouble using mechanise to post a form. I took a wireshark capture of the form being submitted by firefox and by mechanise. In both there is an HTTP Post and then a ''continuation of non-http traffic'' packet. The obvious difference is that the firefox continuation packet has some http metadata (I don''t know the proper terminology) where the

Many of you probably know the ''depot'' app from the ''Agile Rails development'' book. I have constructed the ''products'' model, the Store-controller, and the ''Cart'' and ''Line Item'' classes. I have told Application-controller about :cart and :line_item: model :cart model :line_item Here''s part of

hi, i''m just starting to work with this incredible tool... but i got a first problem with the login process i''m logging on my app like this : ------ @agent = WWW::Mechanize.new { |a| a.log = Logger.new("mech.log") } @agent.user_agent_alias = ''Mac Safari'' @page = @agent.get("http://myappAdress/") @form = @page.forms.first

Hi, I noticed that there is a cookie set by my rails scaffold that contains a 32 character hash code in it, but when I tried to change its value using Cookies[:_session_id], nothing happened, it stays the same! How am I supposed to change the session_id? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

It seems Rails sessions by default only last, well, a browsing session. If the Rails app keeps track of logged-in state by sessions, that state doesn''t survive restarting the browser. How best to change this behaviour, to make the session cookie live forever, or at least beyond browser restarts? It was suggested to me on IRC to combine sessions with code to generate a unique id and

I''m having an issue with ARsessions... I have a rails app AND a merb app both under the same domain... I have redirects working for this to be seamless... however, the session started on merb is different than the session started in the rails app... like so.. http://pastie.caboo.se/private/r1ar42qiaekrqjdt6y Any ideas why? The only difference I see, but dunno where to change this, is

It looks like everyone has tried to fix the cookies lately, and no-one managed to get it 100% correctly. The current implementation doesn''t set the path correctly, and you can''t use @cookies in a #service-overload. Qwzybug''s patch fixed only the sessions. Jenna''s patch won''t allow to set complex cookies (@cookies.key = {:path => "/path",

I''ve been looking around for how to store the session ID in a cookie. The "Agile Web Development with Rails" books seems to indicate that this is done by default with Rails. But I don''t see a cookie being set in my browser. (yeah, they''re enabled) I poked through the RForum code to find something referencing "cookies" but nothing came up. Does

Many of you probably know the ''depot'' app from the ''Agile Rails development'' book. When the view changes from ''Store'' to ''display_cart,'' a session containing the shopping-cart (:cart) is supposed maintain the ''cart'' between calls, but when the display_cart stub view shows up, I have always ZERO elements

Hi According to rdoc: value - the cookie''s value or list of values (as an array). So, I can use arrays, briliant. But.... It does not work (at least on webrick) I wrote a controller: def check_cookies_first cookies[:chef] = {:value => ["first", "second"], :expires => Time.local (2020)} render_text ":)" end def

Hey guys, I''m running the mongrel server that comes with rails-1.2rc1 for development on a winxp box, anticipating taking it into production on a win2k3 box in the next few weeks. I''ve had a couple of crashes occur during development that give me pause, however. I made a ticket for the last one here: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6841 I know, or at least believe, that

When someone comments on my site, I would like to store the user''s name as a cookie, and display it the next time they return. I really don''t know how to do this. Does this use the cgi library? As most things with ruby, I would imagine it to be quite simple... could anyone post a code snippet as to how this would work??? Thanks... -- Posted via

So how do you work with cookies properly in rspec now? I noticed in the docs that it mentions session, assigns, and flash, but nothing of cookie. I''m using edge rails so I''m concerned about changes to the cookie mechanisms. I need to assign values into the cookie (a remember token for restful authentication) so that I can have it log in by cookie. here is my spec

This might be a solved issue, so I thought I''d ask. I''m trying to use SWFUpload with the cookiestore. I''m passing in the session_id variable through a POST parameter in the upload. I''ve verified that Flash is sending the POST params (Flash 9). I thought simply by setting cookie_only to false for that method, I would be able to get that to work.

Hello can anyone tell me how to test cookies using rspec? specifically, I''d like to be able to set a cookie before a get/post request and also to test the cookies which have been set by a get/post request I know I can use cookies[:name] = ''value'' to set a cookie but how would I set expiry information on such a cookie? when i try to pass a hash {:value =>

...i don''t know what to do! obviously, this is probably more simple than what i''m going through now(at least i can say i dear hope so) but i''m having a terrible time trying to use cookies[:something]... explination: i have already implement a nice working cute forum, and i was hoping to put the client/forum-user''s username and email into the corresponding
