Do you have any idea about how retrieve the session if I’m using mem_cached_store?
Because the DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS[: database_manager] is aways nil for me.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks a lot for this post.

I am facing same issue, however for me requests which are coming from Flash works 95 % of the time, WITHOUT any changes to sessions you are suggesting. In some cases it is not working (Rails thinks request coming from Flash is a new user request and user is redirected to login page.)

I tried to implement the solution you suggested, however setup of my app is different and I am not able to send session_key along with the request. I am rendering flash component in a iframe, image submitting functionality is handled by the flash component, I dont have a form in views, hence I am not able to send session_key as a parameter.

Can you please explain me how you are integrating flash component? and how the code in views works in your case?

Thanks in advance,
- Atul

Hi,

thanks for the nice solution.

One remark: I am using active_record_store for the session storage and there find_session was not available. I had to use find_by_session_id.

Cheers,
Jan
