I have a controller method that processes data submitted from a form, one item of which is a large file. This method gives me the following error: CGI::Session::CookieStore::CookieOverflow I understand the source of the error is the cookie being too large but what confuses me is no where in the controller do I directly touch the session. Obviously something is getting put in the session but I don''t know what or how. Does rails push any controller objects into the session by default? thanks in advance, john --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I switched to database session store and the problem went away but I''m
still curious as to why it occurred in the first place.
Here''s my action. There are no calls to any other controller
methods. In fact search for "session" shows it does not occur
anywhere in my controller. My controller inherits from
ApplicationController so there''s nothing else added by me.
def create
@maid=Maid.new(params[:maid])
design=Design.new(:design=>params[:genbank_file].readlines.join)
@maid.designs<<design
strategy=Strategy.find(params[:strategy_id])
maid_strategy=case
when strategy==Strategy.PCR: PCR.new(:strategy=>strategy)
when strategy==Strategy.PCRtm: PCRTM.new(:strategy=>strategy)
when strategy==Strategy.GSD: GSD.new(:strategy=>strategy)
when strategy==Strategy.GSDtm: GSDTM.new(:strategy=>strategy)
end
maid_strategy.maid=@maid
maid_strategy.design=design
maid_strategy.deletion_desc=params[:deletion_desc]
@strategies=Strategy.find(:all)
if maid_strategy.save
flash[:notice]=''Design has been saved.''
@maid=Maid.new
else
flash[:notice]="Error saving design."
render :action=>''new'' and return
end
render :action=>''new''
end

I should also add my ''new'' action is just:
def new
@strategies=Strategy.find(:all)
end

Searching through my code, I don''t touch the session anywhere except for authentication actions which I currently have deactivated anyway, plus they are only storing a user_id, not an object. the file I''m uploading is about 700kb. The processing creates a large object graph which is then saved to the db. Nowhere does it touch the session, from what I can tell. I guess I''ll just stick with db session store for now. Weird... thanks for the input.
