Rails - May 2009 - Rescue CookieOverflow

Hi,

I''m trying to rescue from a
ActionController::Session::CookieStore::CookieOverflow error... however
this doesn''t work:

def some_controller_action
  begin
    session[:too_much] = ''toomuchinfotostore''*4000
  rescue CookieOverflow
    render :text => ''too much info''
  end
  render :text => ''whoepsie''
end

I tried rescue''ing other errors.. but nothing seems to work :S

I think the problem might be that the error is only raised at the
point that rails tries to close out the session, which is after your
action returns. You may have better luck with rescue_from.

Yep.. thanks. The error is thrown later.. so you can only rescue it 
there or something.. I''m now figuring out how to check cookie size 
inside an action. Any ideas?
