Rails - Jul 2008 - CookieOverflow - 4k Session?

Hello all,

I get the following error when I stuff my seesion with more than 4k of
data.

CGI::Session::CookieStore::CookieOverflow

My problem is that I obviously need a fatter session.
How do other users by-pass the 4k restriction on session variables?

Regards,

John

Don''t use the cookie store (which is limited by the fact that cookies  
should not be > 4k)

And I should add that sticking lots of data in the session isn''t  
usually a great idea.

Indeed, in most cases replacing AR objects with their ids is enough. 
There are cases where that isn''t enough though (like storing a long 
temporary list of ids in session) in this case you have the choice of 
storing whatever is too big locally (on disk or in DB) with a reference 
to it in the session but it may not be better than simply using the 
activerecord/memcache/... sessions. It depends on your actual use case.
