RE: [flexcoders] FileReference (upload) session cookie problems

[Stacy Young]

A long way around would be to store the items in a database then retrieve back into the users session on the next RPC call. This may not be feasible in some cases but that’s the best idea I can offer at this time. I ran into this exact problem a couple of months back. If you could please submit this issue via support …it may help garner momentum in getting us a fix sooner rather than later.

I'm using a cookie to maintain a session (it contains a session_id) and when I upload the file, it is behaving strangely using Flash player 9. In Internet Explorer 6.0, a new session will be created, meaning that the cookie wasn't passed with the POST and  this session will be used for future GET requests. In Mozilla Firefox 1.5, a new session will be created that will be used for future file uploads, but the GET requests will use the old session still, so it looks like two client cookies are being maintained. Any help or tips to get around this problem would be greatly appreciated, I'm using ruby on rails on the server side so cookies are my preferred option for maintaining session state - passing it as a URL parameter is a little messy. thanks, Richard. contactdick@yahoo.co.uk   On Yahoo!7 Photos: Unlimited free storage – keep all your photos in one place!
