Hi! So, I’ve got a bunch of different subdomains for our site…
foobar.myhost.com
bar.myhost.com
foo.myhost.com
However, I would like for RAILS to have consistent session ids for
each of these subdomains as they all point at the same rails
appliation (i change behavior by adding some request headers at the
apache end which handles directing them to the right rails
application).
Does anybody know if there’s a patch needed, or a configuration to do
to make rails not pay attention to the prefix of the domain name
requested?

It may be more of a browser limitation than a rails limitation. Will
the browser send a cookie that was set by foo.bar.com to fab.bar.com?
Yes, some quick digging, and you CAN set a cookie which acts over all
subdomains.

Looks like this was done in cakephp… was it done in Rails?
I guess I’ll answer my own question. But for anybody who’s wondering.

Excellent point…
However, I’m in control of the redirection to the new site, so I could
just reproduce the cookie on the redirect. Or could I set a cookie
which is good for all *.myhost.com?
