Hi, guys: I wrote a sitemap plugin for rails yesterday. This plugin will generate the public/sitemap.xml from config/sitemap.rb whose format is very familiar to config/routes.rb. I think it is very helpful if you have a website written by rails and want it to be crawled by spiders such as google, yahoo and baidu. The home page of the plugin is http://github.com/flyerhzm/sitemap/tree/master The

A Rails 2.3.9 app with Active Record or Memcache session store will never send the session ID cookie to a client if the client doesn''t send any HTTP cookies in its requests. Rails integration tests didn''t catch this because they always send the HTTP_COOKIE header, even if it''s empty. This is a huge bug, as it can break keeping sessions on sites which don''t set

Hello, Our rails app has several domains. We are now implementing a single https connection https://secure.domain.xx. All other domains need to switch to that new secure domain in certain circumstances. We only have one ssl cert and it is not possible to create and use a ssl cert for all domains! Now when switching domains we loose the session, that was previously used and I was not able to

I would like to persist the user authentication between user sessions (basically a "remind me" by default). Sessions expire while cookies persist: why should I use a session for authentication and then another different cookie for the "remind me"?
