Hey guys,

I have been facing a race condition in rails 2.3 session. The problem is well described here: http://www.paulbutcher.com/2007/05/race-conditions-in-rails-sessions-and-how-to-fix-them/

I could reproduce the same scenario in rails 3.

Since this is not considered a problem for many and because of this Rails is not gonna fix it, did anyone tried a plugin or workaround to merge the concurrent sessions or something like that?

I was working with paul back when he wrote that post and the session store we developed to fix that problem is still available at https://github.com/fcheung/smart_session_store/. I no longer use it myself although I believe it does still work - I remember updating it for rails 3.
