similar to: Best way to cookie a user?

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

Actually, the first case here doesn''t work at all. I get cookies[:cities] = [] # a blank array? So, it looks like the cookies methods don''t allow Hashes...

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 <

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 =>

I''m trying to set a multi-value cookie but for some reason it''s not working. Any help would be appreciated. cookies[:user] = { :value => {:email=>params[:login][:email], :passwd=>params[:login][:passwd]}, :expires => 30.days.from_now, :path => "/login"} -- Thiago Jackiw

Aside from the replay attacks discussed, there are some other attack vectors on the cookie_session store. I appreciate (and admire!) Jeremy''s good humor on all of this: > Planting the seed here led to quick ripening and plenty of pesticide. > Thanks for the fish, all. > > jeremy Anyway, here''s what we came up with: 1. Brute Force SHA512 can be computed _very_ fast.

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

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'';

I''ve run into an issue with my rails application being unable to properly set cookies on Mongrel 0.3.18. If I run the simplified code below in Mongrel 3.14.4, both cookies are properly sent to and saved by the browser. With the same code in 0.3.18, only the auth_token cookie is created (if I switch them, only the userid as it will only properly create the first cookie in the list.)

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

If a cookie has several items, and is encoded as JSON text as the value of the cookie, the order is actually apparent in the cookie''s text But if JSON.decode is used: ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(cookies[''item_list'']) and the result is actually in a hash, then the ordering is lost... Is it true that if the original JSON object has an array of hashes (1 key and 1

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

I''m looking to store the current params into a/some cookie(s). This works: @params.each_pair do |this_index, this_param| cookies[this_index] = this_param end Except, I get session-only cookies. This doesn''t work: @params.each_pair do |this_index, this_param| cookies[this_index] = { :value => this_param, :expires => 30.days.from_now } end

This rather complex feature solves a problem for certain web services that require a cookie or token for access, especially one which must be periodically renewed.

I''m trying to set the cookie expiration in my environment.rb file but I keep getting a syntax error on WeBRICK startup. I''m trying both of the ways listed in http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoChangeSessionOptions. FYI I''m new to rails so this is probably easy. 1) ActionController::Base.session_options[:session_expires] = Time.local(2008,"jan"))

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

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).

Hi According to rdoc: value - the cookie''s value or list of values (as an array). So, I can use arrays, briliant. But.... It does not work (at least on webrick) I wrote a controller: def check_cookies_first cookies[:chef] = {:value => ["first", "second"], :expires => Time.local (2020)} render_text ":)" end def

Basically, we needed to authenticate against the cookie written by Ruby. It turns out that you can write a cookie for the entire TLD of *.example.com from Instiki (Rails). So, I changed the cookie writing code in the wiki_controller to the following. # app/controllers/wiki_controller.rb cookies[''ldap_username_2006''] = {:value =>emailaddress, :expires
