Having just switched to cookie-based sessions, I find that the action_controller/session/cookie_store.rb methods are not marshalling/ unmarshalling my session data correctly.
Apparently the cookie has some escaped characters "%0A&" that cause a line break.
When unmarshal is called on the cookie it only sees the part up until those characters, when it is expecting to get the entire string which includes the "--" placed there by the code in marshal, I guess because of the "first" command in read cookie:
# Read the session data cookie. def read_cookie @session.cgi.cookies[@cookie_options['name']].first end
I've put up a pastie of the debug code and the cookies being set at http://pastie.caboo.se/42076/
If anyone has any ideas or solutions, I'd be much obliged.
