hi -

i'm trying to integrate facebook authentication into my app. facebook sets a cookie called fbs_xxxx where xxxx is your app id.

but, i can't figure out how to get my hands on that that cookie inside rails, cookies only gives me access to my apps cookies.

thanks for any help, dino

If the cookie isn't in your domain, then no.

Take a look at the facebooker or minifb plugins.

thanks for the reply. i screwed up. in development mode, i was accessing my localhost, which was storing the cookie under localhost. when i accessed my app from the domain that i registered with facebook, i got access using the regular cookies array. hope this helps someone...

thanks again, dino
