def cached_session_options #:nodoc:

end

#session(*args) ⇒ Object Also known as: session=

Specify how sessions ought to be managed for a subset of the actions on the controller. Like filters, you can specify :only and :except clauses to restrict the subset, otherwise options apply to all actions on this controller.

The session options are inheritable, as well, so if you specify them in a parent controller, they apply to controllers that extend the parent.

Usage:

# turn off session management for all actions.
session :off

# turn off session management for all actions _except_ foo and bar.
session :off, :except => %w(foo bar)

# turn off session management for only the foo and bar actions.
session :off, :only => %w(foo bar)

# the session will only work over HTTPS, but only for the foo action
session :only => :foo, :session_secure => true

# the session by default uses HttpOnly sessions for security reasons.
# this can be switched off.
session :only => :foo, :session_http_only => false

# the session will only be disabled for 'foo', and only if it is
# requested as a web service
session :off, :only => :foo,
        :if => Proc.new { |req| req.parameters[:ws] }

# the session will be disabled for non html/ajax requests
session :off, 
  :if => Proc.new { |req| !(req.format.html? || req.format.js?) }

# turn the session back on, useful when it was turned off in the
# application controller, and you need it on in another controller
session :on

All session options described for ActionController::Base.process_cgi are valid arguments.

#session_options ⇒ Object

Returns the hash used to configure the session. Example use:

ActionController::Base.session_options[:session_secure] = true # session only available over HTTPS

end

#session_store=(store) ⇒ Object

Set the session store to be used for keeping the session data between requests. By default, sessions are stored in browser cookies (:cookie_store), but you can also specify one of the other included stores (:active_record_store, :p_store, :drb_store, :mem_cache_store, or :memory_store) or your own custom class.
