similar to: Making the session cookie persistent

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

Hi, I and a few folks on #camping thought it would be nice to have either cookie based or file based session handling. This would eliminate the need for creating a sessions table in the database (or a sequence), which feels too heavy for a lightweight framework like Camping anyway. Plus, we can more easily avoid nasty adapter errors. :) The general consensus was to create a separate

I''m trying to set the session cookie secure flag to true. I added the following to my environments/production.rb ActionController::Base.session_options[:secure] = true In the production mode I don''t see the set-cookie header in the server response (I''m using the Tamper Data Firefox tool to view the traffic). I tried removing all cookies, manually setting the domain

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

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". The order object is contructed, and stored in the session (if it passes validation). The is sent to another page where they can confirm all their info and press the "finalize

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, 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

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,

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

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

Is it possible to directly access session and cookie objects from within a Model? When I try to read the session object in my User Model I get the following error: NameError (undefined local variable or method `session'' for User:Class): I could pass attributes taken from the session into my method in the User Model, but this seems to go against DRY. -Lindsay -- Posted via

Hi,everyone! I have a problem: After using session[:foo]=foo change my session, I want to know what the new "session_key" cookie value would be before I response.

Has anyone had any experience on mac os x with WEBrick and cookies not persisting? What I''m doing is pushing a cookie into the response obj of a webrick request (res.cookies.push(..)). When another request comes in. The req.cookies is empty.. ([]) Any ideas? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message

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 All, Hope this note helps the newbies to Rails As I''m new to Rails, I''d like to share how I tracked down Safari''s dropping of my cookie. My Applebug no: 11003492 registered 7 March/2012 My development platform: MacPro running rails 3.1.1 on OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b) Problem: Firefox worked as programmed but switching to Safari my current_user_token kept in the

When you generate a default Rails app, it puts this in application.html.erb: <%= csrf_meta_tags %> It does this so the remote forms can be submitted--i.e., so JavaScript can submit a form. When jquery-rails is about to submit a form, it looks for the <meta> tags named "csrf-param" and "csrf-token" and from them it constructs a hidden

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

Hi, There doesn''t seem to be any previous posts about this problem, I must be setting things up wrongly at very basics... Firstly, the problem... I can''t get session[] to persist with active_record_store. I enabled (config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store) in environment.rb and created the sessions table at my MySQL database. When I do a session[:blah] =

Hi, I am trying to remember certain information like username using cookies so that when the same page is accessed again, some default settings can be maitained.I am facing a problem when reading the cookie value.
