# This cookie-based session store is the Rails default. Sessions typically
# contain at most a user_id and flash message; both fit within the 4K cookie
# size limit. Cookie-based sessions are dramatically faster than the
# alternatives.
#
# If you have more than 4K of session data or don't want your data to be
# visible to the user, pick another session store.
#
# CookieOverflow is raised if you attempt to store more than 4K of data.
# TamperedWithCookie is raised if the data integrity check fails.
#
# A message digest is included with the cookie to ensure data integrity:
# a user cannot alter his user_id without knowing the secret key included in
# the hash. New apps are generated with a pregenerated secret in
# config/environment.rb. Set your own for old apps you're upgrading.
#
# Session options:
#   :secret   An application-wide key string or block returning a string
#             called per generated digest. The block is called with the
#             CGI::Session instance as an argument.
#
#             Example:  :secret => '449fe2e7daee471bffae2fd8dc02313d'
#                       :secret => Proc.new { User.current_user.secret_key }
#
#   :digest   The message digest algorithm used to verify session integrity
#             defaults to 'SHA1' but may be any digest provided by OpenSSL,
#             such as 'MD5', 'RIPEMD160', 'SHA256', etc.
#
# Note that changing digest or secret invalidates all existing sessions!
