Problem with sessions and IE

Hello guys,

I have a very big issue with Internet Explorer and sessions!

Indeed, since I migrated my whole application to rails 2.1.1 from rails 1.2.3, IE doesn't keep session at all.

example: [code] # controller

  def action1     session[:foo] = 'foo'   end

  def action2     render(:text => "session[:foo] = " + session[:foo])   end [/code]

Call action1 then action2.

If I use IE, session[:foo] will be empty after action2.

Everything works perfectly with all browsers but IE. And obvisouly my Internet Explorer accept all cookies, all sessions with lower security level etc...

I can also track what's going on step by step because I store my sessions in MySQL with active_record:

Actually, each time I call a new webpage (new action) with IE, rails will automatically create a new session in the database with a new session_id instead of taking the existing one. As usual, everything works as intended with all other browsers.

I don't know what to do anymore! Down on my knees I beg you!

Help me please!

Thanks,

Mary

It's really wired actually!

Sometimes it works .. sometines it's not!

Sometimes IE will create a new session in my database for each new action sometimes it will keep the existing session :confused:

thx anyway!

I even created an example here:

http://88.191.83.87:8080/test/action1 then http://88.191.83.87:8080/test/action2

Try with mozilla (work as intended) and then try with IE. Wired isn't it ?

open your config/environment.rb

UNCOMMENT IT:   config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store

and ADD it :

  config.action_controller.perform_caching = true

And check your environment.rb

Have you change it, 1.2.3, to be 2.1.1 ??? RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '1.2.3' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION

and open your Application.rb, make sure it is correct :

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base   # Pick a unique cookie name to distinguish our session data from others'   session :session_key => '_ProjectName_session_id'
