Does anybody know how to access the domain of a cookie from inside rails? I am try to integrate phpbb forums into my site and one of the things phpbb does is store a cookie. The forums are at forums.domain.com and the site is www.domain.com so i needed to set the cookie domain in phpbb to just be ".domain.com" so both sites can access it. The trouble is when using cookies[] in rails,

Hello, I''m having trouble using mechanise to post a form. I took a wireshark capture of the form being submitted by firefox and by mechanise. In both there is an HTTP Post and then a ''continuation of non-http traffic'' packet. The obvious difference is that the firefox continuation packet has some http metadata (I don''t know the proper terminology) where the

Many of you probably know the ''depot'' app from the ''Agile Rails development'' book. I have constructed the ''products'' model, the Store-controller, and the ''Cart'' and ''Line Item'' classes. I have told Application-controller about :cart and :line_item: model :cart model :line_item Here''s part of

In the initial version of my application I am just going to require cookies - down the road _considering_ changing that and providing something that works without. Anyway, this is somewhat of a two part question 1. Does this approach make sense or is there a better way typically used? Just have a before_filter in my application.rb to verify that the :_session_id cookie is present. If it

Hi, I noticed that there is a cookie set by my rails scaffold that contains a 32 character hash code in it, but when I tried to change its value using Cookies[:_session_id], nothing happened, it stays the same! How am I supposed to change the session_id? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hi, i''m just starting to work with this incredible tool... but i got a first problem with the login process i''m logging on my app like this : ------ @agent = WWW::Mechanize.new { |a| a.log = Logger.new("mech.log") } @agent.user_agent_alias = ''Mac Safari'' @page = @agent.get("http://myappAdress/") @form = @page.forms.first

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

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''m having an issue with ARsessions... I have a rails app AND a merb app both under the same domain... I have redirects working for this to be seamless... however, the session started on merb is different than the session started in the rails app... like so.. http://pastie.caboo.se/private/r1ar42qiaekrqjdt6y Any ideas why? The only difference I see, but dunno where to change this, is

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

It looks like everyone has tried to fix the cookies lately, and no-one managed to get it 100% correctly. The current implementation doesn''t set the path correctly, and you can''t use @cookies in a #service-overload. Qwzybug''s patch fixed only the sessions. Jenna''s patch won''t allow to set complex cookies (@cookies.key = {:path => "/path",

Hi, I''m using Merb from the svn repository (revision 224, Merb 0.3.0). I am playing around trying to return static files. I''m opening a File and returning that from the controller. I''m setting the mime type and the content length (other wise nothing much happens). All requests for static content go through the same action of a particular controller. This is

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.

Hey guys, I''m running the mongrel server that comes with rails-1.2rc1 for development on a winxp box, anticipating taking it into production on a win2k3 box in the next few weeks. I''ve had a couple of crashes occur during development that give me pause, however. I made a ticket for the last one here: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6841 I know, or at least believe, that

Hi All, I''m experiencing a problem when using pound with Rails. My set up is I have a machine acting as a load balancer running Pound. This listens on port 80 and directs requests with a particular URL to two backend servers both of which are serving my rails app using mongrel cluster on ports 9000,9001 and 9002. There is a problem with sessions even though I am storing the session data

Hi, I''m trying to make a simple shopping cart, where I want to maintain state when a use logs in from different location. Consider the following : 1. ''foo'' logs in from home pc and add ''bar'' item to the cart. 2. ''foo'' goes to office and logs in from office PC. 3. Now I want only one session for ''foo'', so that when

How can I get the sessid from the current session object? For instance, I log in the system, and want to know which sessid I''m using. I''m storing the session using active_record. Later on, I want to restore a session finding it using the sessid. Thanks in advance. Fernando Lujan

What is the recommended amount of time to keep sessions around in the database (i store them in a sessions table). IF you get 1 million requests per day you are going to get 1 million new session entries in the DB. This would need some serious cleaning so just wondering what a safe cleanup time would be. Also does anyone know how to prevent new sessions records from being created if session
