But I don't understand what the problem is with my question. So let me ask again. Before I could get the value in a cookie, any cookie, from a browser visiting a rails app using cgi. I used it in Rails in order to get a unique string into the model. I can't use cookies[:cookie_name] for that. As I understand it I can't do that with Rails 2.3.x ( or 3?). That's what I want to do. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
