Rails - Jan 2006 - Rails Sessions - Disabling and Garbage Collection

Is there a way to turn sessions off in Rails? Doesn''t appear to be.

 

Also, is there any garbage collection for stale sessions?

 

On those two topics, are there any problems with Rails handling those
options?

I ask because it seems like something that would have been included.

If there is no technical reason why it wasn''t included, then
I''ll
create/submit a source patch to add them.

 

Thanks

Sessions are used for flash, so if you use flash then don?t disable the
sessions.
You can set
::ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS = false
to dissable the sessions processing
 
Abuot the garbage collection topic, I have no idea

Is there a way to disable sessions on per Controller or
Controller/Action combination?

Seems a waste to use them for machine interfaces such
as web services and such cases where there''s no need
for a session.

And, if there isn''t, then I''ll submit a patch for that.
