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 am using the restful authentication plugin and am always prompted to login if a different subdomain is accessed. I have found a couple rails "solutions", but none of them seem to work: # development.rb 1. ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS[:session_key] = ".localhost" 2. ActionController::Base.session_options[:key] = ".localhost" Does anyone

Hello, Our rails app has several domains. We are now implementing a single https connection https://secure.domain.xx. All other domains need to switch to that new secure domain in certain circumstances. We only have one ssl cert and it is not possible to create and use a ssl cert for all domains! Now when switching domains we loose the session, that was previously used and I was not able to

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

I''m having a problem switching from cookie sessions (the default) to active record sessions. I''ve created the sessions table via the rake task, uncommented the line config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store in my environment.rb file, cleared out my browsers cookies, restarted the server (natch), but still the it''s using cookie_store instead of

What I want to do is share the same session across many Rails applications. All of them are using Rails 2.2.2. I know that, to share the session, it''s (supposedly) just a matter of sharing the same key and secret among the apps, like this: config.action_controller.session = { :session_key => ''_apps_session'', :secret =>

i was hoping someone could point me to the place where rails is using the cookie to match the request to the session. i see some session logic in cgi/session, but i can''t seem to find where it actually uses the cookie. fyi, i''m asking because i''m having an issue where i set the user during login, but the redirect following the login is using (or creating) a different

Not a bug. A cookie is just a string. You can turn anything into a string and store it in a cookie. Something very simple like the following might work for you: array_for_cookie = [1,4,5,7] cookies[:foo] = array_for_cookie .to_s array_from_cookie = cookies[:foo][1..-2].split('','') (And if you are just storing a single integer in a cookie be sure to turn it into a

when setting it in my environment.rb config.action_controller.session = { :session_key => ''_myapp_session'', :secret => ''3a64394bb895f1f05e0c07f71127d93d'' } I cannot get it back in the script/console .. :session_key=>"_session_id" !!! why ? >> ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS =>

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 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".

i start the server but it exits right away, I ran the rake to update and changed the version string in config.rb. Any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated. i imagine that it has something to do with the session, but i am not able to figure it out. my config/config.rb has the following config.action_controller.session = { :session_key => ''c3_rails_session'',

Hi folks, For a project I''m working on, I need to set an HTTP header BEFORE the Set-Cookie header is sent. Basically, I need to send along our compact privacy policy before the cookie is set. I''ve tried using: @headers[''P3P''] = "P3P: blah blah blah..." ...but the problem is that no matter what I do, the Set-Cookie header is sent first, and the P3P
