similar to: where does rails pull the session id from the cookie and connect the request with the session?

I''ve been looking around for how to store the session ID in a cookie. The "Agile Web Development with Rails" books seems to indicate that this is done by default with Rails. But I don''t see a cookie being set in my browser. (yeah, they''re enabled) I poked through the RForum code to find something referencing "cookies" but nothing came up. Does

I am running RAILS 1.2.6 with apache balancing between a cluster of mongrel processes. It appears that intermittently the server is not receiving the session cookie from the browser for certain users. Wondering what situations could cause this... I know one is if the user has cookies turned off. Are there other situations where this could arise? The net effect is that users experiencing this

I''m trying to set the session cookie secure flag to true. I added the following to my environments/production.rb ActionController::Base.session_options[:secure] = true In the production mode I don''t see the set-cookie header in the server response (I''m using the Tamper Data Firefox tool to view the traffic). I tried removing all cookies, manually setting the domain

Searching gmane, I''ve found many discussions on the subject, but never a definitive answer. How can I make the session cookie (i.e., the cookie where rails keeps the session ID) persistent? -- Pazu

Hi, I and a few folks on #camping thought it would be nice to have either cookie based or file based session handling. This would eliminate the need for creating a sessions table in the database (or a sequence), which feels too heavy for a lightweight framework like Camping anyway. Plus, we can more easily avoid nasty adapter errors. :) The general consensus was to create a separate

Is it possible to directly access session and cookie objects from within a Model? When I try to read the session object in my User Model I get the following error: NameError (undefined local variable or method `session'' for User:Class): I could pass attributes taken from the session into my method in the User Model, but this seems to go against DRY. -Lindsay -- Posted via

I have a simple e-commerce store and am running into a problem with the edge rails cookie based sessions. What I am trying to do is make the customer fill in their info, and click "Review my Order". The order object is contructed, and stored in the session (if it passes validation). The is sent to another page where they can confirm all their info and press the "finalize

Hi, I recently switched to the cookie session store for my rails app, and I am wondering how I can access some kind of unique identifier for each session between requests. It used to be (when I was using active record store) that the session id was set and that string didn''t change between requests. Now, of course, the session id does change between requests because that is where the

Edge has a change in default behaviour where sessions are stored as cookies instead of in the file system. This was a pleasant surprise when I synced up, fired up my app, and nothing worked. Ah, life on the edge. I''m sure I''m just missing something, but I can''t get sessions to survive the first redirect. I added the following code to environment.rb, based on

I like the cookie sessions that Rails edge has - they make sense, they''re fast, easy. For those that don''t know: the default session mechanism is to give developers a Hash called session. To store this object between requests it Marshals the session object and sends the object itself (now as a bitstream) back to clients to store in their cookie file. To prevent users from

Many of you probably know the ''depot'' app from the ''Agile Rails development'' book. When the view changes from ''Store'' to ''display_cart,'' a session containing the shopping-cart (:cart) is supposed maintain the ''cart'' between calls, but when the display_cart stub view shows up, I have always ZERO elements

I''ve been Googling this question for the past few hours, and I think it''s time I simply ask this question myself. I just made the switch from Rails 3.2 to Rails 4. I''m trying to make sure I''m as up-to-speed as possible on security issues, and I''m concerned about sessions right now. It looks like Rails 4 has moved away from supporting really

Hi,everyone! I have a problem: After using session[:foo]=foo change my session, I want to know what the new "session_key" cookie value would be before I response.

Hi, I am starting coding in r and one of the things that i want to do is to scrape some data from the web. The problem that I am having is that I cannot get passed the disclaimer page (which produces a session cookie). I have been able to collect some ideas and combine them in the code below but I dont get passed the disclaimer page. I am trying to agree the disclaimer with the postForm and write

Hi All, Hope this note helps the newbies to Rails As I''m new to Rails, I''d like to share how I tracked down Safari''s dropping of my cookie.

hi there, I''m not sure if it is better to use the ml or the forum so I ended to post on both ... I''m trying to login into a page that is using javascript to set a cookie: <script language="JavaScript"> {text "\n" " \n" " \n" " document.cookie = ''vhp_js=v995105608h85339294p;path=/;domain=.venere.com;expire=0'';

Aside from the replay attacks discussed, there are some other attack vectors on the cookie_session store. I appreciate (and admire!)

Brute Force SHA512 can be computed _very_ fast.

If something goes wrong in the kvm io bus handling, the virtio-ccw diagnose may return a negative error value in the cookie gpr. Document this.
