= Rack Cookie Monster

A rack middleware library that allows for cookies to be passed through form parameters. Specifically, it merges the specified form parameters into the Cookie header of an http request. It gets around the problem of having a flash application which interacts with a web application that uses cookie based sessions.

= Contributing The environment can be configured by using bundler.

gem bundle or rake setup:contrib

= Usage

Rails Example:

In rails initializer

Rack::CookieMonster.configure do |c| c.eat :_session_id c.eat :user_credentials c.share_with /^(Adobe|Shockwave) Flash/ c.share_with "Burt" end

Rack::CookieMonster.configure_for_rails

Rack Example:

class CookieMonsterApplication def call(env) cookies = ::Rack::Request.new(env).cookies res = ::Rack::Response.new res.write %{ Form

Cookie 1: Cookie 2: Non Cookie: #{ cookies.map do |k,v| "

#{k} - #{v}

" end.join("\n") } } res.finish end end

use Rack::CookieMonster, { :cookies => [:cookie_1, :cookie_2], :share_with => /firefox/i } run CookieMonsterApplication.new
