Hi,

Does any one knows where the object “session” in rails is stored? Is it  
on the server side or client side? and will it sends to the client (or  
send to the server) each time a request is sent?

Thanks you very much

Sayoyo

its stored on the server’s file system by default but there are other  
persitance strategies to choose from. The user gets a cookie with a  
unique ID of the session so that the proper session can be reloaded  
whenever the user requests a page.

There is a dedicated rails mailing list for rails questions by the way.
