Sharing sessions between users; Multiple sessions per user

Rails
1

Hello all,

I’ve been looking around a bit, but having no luck.

Before I get started I wanted to find out if anybody else has
considered/created an app that either let two users access the same
session
at once and/or to have multiple sessions for a single user.

I’m going to use memcached as the session storage if that would make a
difference to anybody, though I’d like to hear what anybody has to say.

Thank You,
Collin

I don’t think there is an easier way to do this besides disabling
browser cookies
support and sharing _session_id value between users … and (shameless
plug)
my No-Cookie Session Support plugin can help in this respect.

With cookies disabled the session key can be passed around in the URL to
maintain
session persistence. You could have what you want by,

  1. copy the URL (with session key) and send it to the second user.
  2. get multiple sessions with every new browser (window or tab) request.
