I''m having a problem with sessions. I''m using Rails 2.0.2, and
Firefox.
The problem is that the session_id sometimes changes while users are
using the application. This makes it appear to users that they have
been ''logged out''. Actually, of course, Rails just thinks it
is
dealing with a new user.
Below is an extreme example: I am viewing the login page of the
application and just clicking the browser refresh button. You can see
that I have a different Session ID on each refresh, even though the
page and address are exactly the same.
Cookies are enabled in my browser and I can see the cookie stored on
my machine (using the Firefox developer''s tool bar.)
If I enter my username/password, I am NOT logged in, because the
session ID keeps changing.
Here is the strange part: if I delete the cookies in my browser, the
problem goes away: the session id stops changing and I can log in with
no problem.
Once I clean up my cookies, the application works fine for an certain
period of time. It could be a few seconds or all day. But eventually
the session_id cookie gets ''corrupted'' again, and I get logged
out. I
then need to delete the cookie to continue.
This is MOST annoying to my users. I need to solve this problem ASAP.
Any thoughts, much appreciated.
