Hi

Does anyone know where the session file, storing cookie data, is?

Thanks,

Does anyone know where the session file, storing cookie data, is?

In my experience (linux/mac os) usually in the most recent file called
/tmp/ruby-sess*

OOps make that /tmp/ruby_sess.*

on MS Windows PStore puts them in,
C:\Documents and Settings<your_home_directory>\Local Settings\Temp

i believe PStore is the default backing store for session files.

And cookies are in
C:\Documents and Settings<your_home_directory>\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files

So they are normally stored on the temporary directory.
On windows machines that is referred as %temp%

On Windows XP, Rails sessions are in files like

C:\WINDOWS\Temp\ruby_sess.2a9778de5955c4a9

Note that these store serialised session state, not cookies.
