session_options[:secure] resets session_id on every request

I'm working on an ecommerce site (in Rails 2.3) and I added:

ActionController::Base.session_options[:secure] = true

to ~/config/environments/production.rb

Now, every time I add something to my shopping cart and navigate away I get a new session_id (which essentially empties my shopping cart).

How can I get the continuity of my sessions back, while still having the session_id get set over a secure connection?

I've attached my ~/config/environment.rb and here is my ~/config/environments/production.rb

# Settings specified here will take precedence over those in config/environment.rb

# The production environment is meant for finished, "live" apps. # Code is not reloaded between requests config.cache_classes = true

# Use a different logger for distributed setups # config.logger = SyslogLogger.new

# Full error reports are disabled and caching is turned on config.action_controller.consider_all_requests_local = false config.action_controller.perform_caching = true

# Enable serving of images, stylesheets, and javascripts from an asset server # config.action_controller.asset_host = "http://assets.example.com"

# Disable delivery errors if you bad email addresses should just be ignored # config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false

config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {   :address => "192.168.248.6",   :port => 25,   :domain => "babeland.com" }

# Turn these on and comment out the above config options for development [THIS IS AN UGLY HACK] # config.cache_classes = false # config.action_controller.perform_caching = false # config.action_view.cache_template_extensions = false

config.log_level = :debug

# encypt session_id cookies # I'm only doing this in production mode because I don't run SSL on my dev machine. # If this were system wide, I could never set the session_id cookie with my development machine ActionController::Base.session_options[:secure] = true

Hi I'm having the same issue but this is causing an InvalidAuthenticityToken exception to be thrown. Were you able to fix this issue? Thanks!
