similar to: Authentication with Cookies instead of CookieStore Sessions

This might be a solved issue, so I thought I''d ask. I''m trying to use SWFUpload with the cookiestore. I''m passing in the session_id variable through a POST parameter in the upload. I''ve verified that Flash is sending the POST params (Flash 9). I thought simply by setting cookie_only to false for that method, I would be able to get that to work.

Dear Rails community, As part of a programming languages/security research group at the University of Maryland, we are building some static analysis tools for Rails applications. These tools work by taking formally specified properties of interest, and then analyzing code to verify that those properties indeed hold. Using these tools, we found some security vulnerabilities in Rails, and we would

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

Still new in my ROR walk, been busily coding on a game application as a fruitful exercise in becoming proficient in Ruby/ROR. However, I seem to have hit a speed bump and am befuddled over some exhibited behavior in ROR. 1. **Cookies** - on page 312 of the AWDwR book by DT and DHH, it states that if you create a cookie by assigning a value to cookies[name], you get a "default set of

I have an idea for a protocol extension to limit the exposure of the complex crypto code in ssh servers. It's like tcp-wrappers, but based on a secret token rather than IP address. Patch against openssh-3.7.1p2: http://nick.cleaton.net/openssh-cc-0.03.patch Details ======= The "Connection Cookies" mechanism is an unofficial ssh protocol extension designed to prevent attackers

Hi, I wonder if can quiz anyone on how to solve a problem. I use our Facebook app to take payments so we have to access our app outside of the Facebook Canvas for a few controllers (and only minimally). We have a system working fine and we have a token based login to ensure its the same user on the external pages. The problem is we want to perform an action, set some flash messages and

Hello, I''m trying to test some cookie code with some integration tests, but I''m not sure if this is possible. Currently I''m creating a session (using open_session) running some code that sets my cookie and this works fine, the cookie is being set. Now cookies are supposed to exist across different sessions, so I try to create a new session (again with

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

hello, I am trying to implement a "remember be" box for logins, however I cant seem to get it to work. I have tried the following 2 methods but neither seem to work. When i check the expiry time in firefox it always says "end of session". What is the proper way to handle this so the session cookie "_session_id" doesnt expire for a year? I tried

It seems Rails sessions by default only last, well, a browsing session. If the Rails app keeps track of logged-in state by sessions, that state doesn''t survive restarting the browser. How best to change this behaviour, to make the session cookie live forever, or at least beyond browser restarts? It was suggested to me on IRC to combine sessions with code to generate a unique id and

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

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

I''m implementing a simpler version of the Cookie Session Store in Rails 2.0. If you know what that is, skip the next paragraph. A cookie session store stores the session data inside cookies, on the client, and signs them using a secret string, hashed together. The user can decode the cookie easily if they know much about computers and see what''s inside, but they

I am newbie to rail. Trying to develop social networking site so working with railspace application. Everything is working fine but I stuck in the problem when i am giving the authorization tocken to the user to remember him/her. My Error and controller code is below Error:- private method `gsub'' called for 4:Fixnum C:/Users/Amir/Downloads/IR/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi.rb:342:in

So how do you work with cookies properly in rspec now? I noticed in the docs that it mentions session, assigns, and flash, but nothing of cookie. I''m using edge rails so I''m concerned about changes to the cookie mechanisms. I need to assign values into the cookie (a remember token for restful authentication) so that I can have it log in by cookie. here is my spec

Hello. I know that it's usually possible to write cookies to a cookie file by removing the curl handle and doing a gc() call. I can do this with getURL(), but I just can't obtain the same results with postForm(). If I use: curlHandle <- getCurlHandle(cookiefile=FILE, cookiejar=FILE) and then do: getURL(http://example.com/script.cgi, curl=curlHandle) rm(curlHandle) gc() it's

Hello can anyone tell me how to test cookies using rspec? specifically, I''d like to be able to set a cookie before a get/post request and also to test the cookies which have been set by a get/post request I know I can use cookies[:name] = ''value'' to set a cookie but how would I set expiry information on such a cookie? when i try to pass a hash {:value =>

Has anyone written any "cookie" class using prototype? Basically, what I am looking for is if there is an easy way to store mutiple cookies in a single cookie using hash or something - easy writing and retrieval (updating the cookie value). For eg - If I had 25 cookies for my domain 5 of the cookies would either get dropped or not be set (as there is a limit of 20 cookies per domain).

I'm guess I wasn't following the whole cookies discussion completely (putting cookies in /tmp to avoid putting them on NFS, etc.), but I noticed today that with 2.9.9p2, if I use "ssh -X" to start a shell on the server, in that shell XAUTHORITY is set to /tmp/ssh-XXXXXXXX/cookies and there are cookies placed there there. These are the "fake" cookies for the

Hi man, Thank you very much for your good work. I think there may be a bug in Mechanize 0.6.3. Cookie:cookies (cookie.rb:L83 ) @jar[domain].each_key do |name| => if url.path =~ /^#{@jar[domain][name].path}/ if @jar[domain][name].expires.nil? cookies << @jar[domain][name] elsif Time.now <
