Problem with session under cgi file.

[Dsa Dang]

When i set a value in session after changing page session doesn't
remember the value.
I have an example.

Don't ask why I have to make it with cgi ;/

you need to make sure you flush and close it.

I've added sess.close at the end but it still doesn't work :/

are you setting the expiration?

cgi = CGI.new

session = CGI::Session.new(cgi, "session_expires" => Time.at(2**31-1))
at_exit{ session.update; session.close }

reproduce...

So.. my friend have found what was wrong. It's all about session id.
Here it must be send manually. I'll leave the source here as it may be
deleted from the server soon (first old source, then correct and
working).

old:
#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'cgi'
require 'cgi/session'
require 'cgi/session/pstore'

def mojaSesja(cgi)
return CGI::Session.new(cgi,
#'database_manager' => CGI::Session::PStore, # use PStore
'session_key' => 'rek_key', # custom session key
'session_expires' => Time.now + 30 * 60, # 30 minute timeout
'prefix' => 'rek_') # PStore option
end

cgi = CGI.new("html4")
sess = mojaSesja(cgi)

puts "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
puts "<a href='index.cgi?z=a'>a</a><br />"
puts "<a href='index.cgi?z=b'>b</a><br />"

if cgi['z'] == 'a'
sess['z'] = cgi['z']
sess.update
end

puts sess['z']

new (ok):

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'cgi'
require 'cgi/session'
require 'cgi/session/pstore'

def mojaSesja(cgi)
CGI::Session.new(cgi,
#'database_manager' => CGI::Session::PStore, # use PStore
'session_key' => 'session_id', # custom session key
'session_expires' => Time.now + 30 * 60, # 30 minute timeout
'prefix' => 'rek_') # PStore option
end

cgi = CGI.new("html4")
sess = mojaSesja(cgi)

puts "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
print "<a href='index.cgi?z=a&session_id=",sess.session_id,"'>a</a><br
/>"
print "<a href='index.cgi?z=b&session_id=",sess.session_id,"'>b</a><br
/>"

if cgi['z'] == 'a'
sess['z'] = cgi['z']
end

puts sess['z']

sess.close
