I have a problem with rails and cookies. I have created a  
loginController. In this i have inserted these lines:  
cookies[:uid] = { :value =\> @user.id,:expires =\> 30.days.from\_now};  
cookies[:uhp] = { :value =\> @user.hashed\_password,:expires =\>  
30.days.from\_now };  
puts cookies[:uid]

This print nil.  
Why??  
Thanks
