I have used restful_authentication to implement a login system and it
works fine except that every couple of weeks I can’t login when I use
IE; it works fine when I use other browsers! The problem goes away after
a few hours! It seems to me somehow sometimes after logging in, the
session variable is not set!
I have the following code for create action in my sessions_controller.rb
def create
logout_keeping_session!
user = User.authenticate(params[:login], params[:password])
if user
self.current_user = user
new_cookie_flag = (params[:remember_me] == "1")
handle_remember_cookie! new_cookie_flag
redirect_to '/sessions/home'
else
note_failed_signin
@login = params[:login]
@remember_me = params[:remember_me]
redirect_to "/sessions/login"
end
end
Can redirect_to ‘/sessions/home’ cause the problem with the session
variable and erase its value?

apparently IE has quirks when setting a cookie at the same time as
redirecting. Some say that setting a P3P header help (see comments on
Thank you, Fred! I looked at the page that you mentioned and some
related pages. I have implemented several possible solutions and will
try them next time the bug is activated and will post the result here
for others who may face this problem in future.
