Hi,

I’m using config.action\_controller.session\_store = :active\_record\_store  
to store sessions for my app.

I have a client that cannot parse requests when cookies are sent by  
server. I thought that by using the active\_record\_store the cookies are  
disabled.

But apparently they are not. How can I make that the server doesn’t send  
cookies? At least when requests are not for html?  
I use webrick for this.

I’m not good with sessions and cookies yet…

Thanks!

Hi, no hints around?

Currently in the responses from the server I see cookie and session  
header and values.

What I want is that the server does NOT add cookie or session headers to  
requests of type programs/users.svg

I’ve tried the next in my app controller but I can still see cookie and  
session headers and values.

session :off, :if =\> lambda { |request|  
request.parameters[:format] &&  
request.parameters[:format] != ‘html’

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.
