I implemented remember me using cookies and it was working fine. It was
working fine because I never tested the code with IE.
If I login using firefox and check the remember me checkbox then a cookie is
placed on the client machine.
cookies[:remembrall] = { :value=>user.remembrall, :expires=>
user.remembrall_expired } if active_remembrall? user
I will kill my browser and whe next time I come to the page using firefox
I''m automatically logged in. All good with firefox.
When I attempt to go to the same site using IE then I''m not logged in.
I
tried printing the content of cookies and I get nil. It seems when I''m
using
IE then the cookie that is stored in the client machine is not active (or
visible) to IE. To the best of my understanding cookie is browser
independent. Right ?
A shorter version of the code is given below.
if cookies[:remembrall]
logger.debug(">>> cookies[:remembrall] is " +
cookies[:remembrall])
else
logger.debug(">>> No cookies[:remembrall] was found.")
end
When I''m using firefox I get the cookies value. when I''m
using IE I get
cookies not found message. All this on the same laptop.
Any suggestions. Am I missing something regarding cookies?
PS: I know how to view cookies using firefox. Is there a way to view cookies
using IE?
