I’m using Flex 4(beta2) with Ruby on Rails 2.3.5 and using RubyAMF to transfer data back and forth between Flex and server.

I set up Authlogic on the Rails side for authentication.

I wasn’t sure what’s the best method to handle user sessions. I know this is done automatically with Rails by sending session id with cookie which Rails use to authenticate the user.

What do you suggest the best way to do this with Flex?

I thought of couple of options:
1. Manually fetching the cookie from the browser and then figuring our a way to send that to the server with every request I send.

2. Handling sessions expiration and flow on Flex side by manually expiring the session

Do you have other suggestion or recommendation?

Thanks,

Tam

    Network requests in Flash use the browser networking stack so cookies in Flex work just like any other browser application. Usually authentication in Flex is no different than it is with a standard web application. Send credentials to the server which it correlates with a session id. Every subsequent request (RemoteObject, HTTPService, etc) also sends that session id.
