url_session

UrlSession

UrlSession stores your session in memcache (dalli), puts session_id to every url and parses it in midleware

Installation

$ gem install url_session

Usage

Add gem to your Gemfile

gem 'url_session'

configure session_store to use url_session (session_store.rb)

UrlSessionExample::Application.config.session_store :url_session_store, :namespace => 'sessions',
  :key =>"_session", :compress => true, :expire_after => 1.day, :cookie_enabled => false, :param => 'session_id'

and include UrlSession in your ApplicationController

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include ControllerAuthentication
  protect_from_forgery

  include UrlSession::Controller
end

You can put your all routes in session_id scope, if you want (routes.rb)

scope "/(:session_id)" do
  resources :sessions
  resources :users
  resources :posts
  ...
  match '/'  => 'posts#index',   :as => :root # root :to => 'posts#index' doesn't work here
end

Options

The same like dalli_store plus:

:param => 'PHPSESSID'    # name of session id parameter, default 'session_id'
:cookie_enabled => false # try to use cookie before url, default true
