Handling cookie overflow problem in rails
Are you getting cookie overflow error when you are loading a lot of flash[:notices] ??
Something like CGI::Session::CookieStore::CookieOverflow
if so here is a solution for it
Just write this method in ur controller
before_filter :session_cleanup
def session_cleanup
backup = session.data.clone
reset_session
backup.each { |k, v| session[k] = v unless k.is_a?(String) && k
=~ /^as:/ }
end
What this will do is it will clear old data thats already there in the session and restore this one.
The above method wont work if your data size is >= 4k in that case the only solution is to use another session store.
Hope this helps 🙂 … Njoi
