similar to: removing something from the session

I''m going to explicitly time out sessions if they''re idle more than X minutes. Like online banking sites do.

TIA, Bill

My code that acts if a session has timed out looks like this: reset_session session[:expires_at] = nil # TODO - This flash is never shown, because we redirect maybe? flash[:error] = ''Your session has timed out, please login to continue.'' # An attempt to make flash stick around, not working flash.keep redirect_to :controller => ''security'',

I am using the following code (inspired by one of the books) to check if the user''s session should have timed out. # Check to see if the user has been inactive for longer than the # expiry period. If they have, reset the session. def check_timeout if session[:expires_at] != nil @time_left = (session[:expires_at] - Time.now).to_i unless @time_left > 0

All, Version 1.0.8 of the salted hash login generator is available. This contains a few minor bug fixes with the generator plus some README clarifications. If you are successfully running with the code already, you probably do not need this. Joe

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

Ladies and Gentlemen, As Johan Lindberg points out, the documentation for handling dendrograms is sparse....Does anyone know who is responsible for or working on development of tree methods and objects? I've written a couple of scripts for my own use to translate between parenthetical (A(B(CD))) or binary A00 B10 C11 D11 tree formats and cluster objects in R, but as an inexperienced

I would really appreciate some help with changing a link_to_remote call to a button of some sort. Here''s a little background. On the page there are two <div>s.

I''ve looked at the validates documentation and it appears that validates_uniqueness_of works on only one field at a time. So I can, for example, validate that "sam" is unique to the record set, and that "smith" is unique to the record set. My problem is that each record includes two fields, the _combination_ of which must be unique to the record set, but each of
