I would presume that using cookies could open you up to certain security holes and additional programming confusion. Also, ROR is already mainting the "session" using cookies. The session is provided to you as a construct to avoid additional programming effort. You are kinda sidestepping that by using your own cookies.
I'm not sure but maybe ROR provides the ability to presist sessions so they don't use too much memory. ===================== Jim http://www.thepeoplesfeed.com/contribute On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 9:02 AM, Rails List < rails-mailing-l...@andreas-s.net> wrote: > > I have recently finished a very small application in Rails.
