What's wrong with this external merb cookie verification snippet?

I'd like to access the cookies from an external app from merb but use the cookies to verify the user who sends the request to the external app. The example code is here: http://pastie.org/778601 This looks fairly straightforward to me so I'm not quite sure why it isn't working. Obviously you'll need to replace the session_secret_key an...

Rails - render :action to target anchor tag?

I'm looking to use render like so: render :action => 'page#form' I also tried this: render :template => 'site/page#form' That didn't work either.

Tell Merb not to timeout

Hi, after posting a question related to nginx, I'm a bit further with my investigations: The problem is, that the merb framework timeouts after about 30 seconds. If i tell the underlying nginx-server not to timeout, merb does, and I can't find a way to tell it not to; I need to do requests that take up to some minutes. Any hints? Thank...

RFC2616 : Do I really need to set WWW_Authenticate when returning 401?

According to RFC2616 if I return 401 in response to a request to my (Ruby) server, I "MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field." Is this really true? Not setting the header seems to have no negative impact. I'm using Merb as a web framework and it doesn't force me to set the header. Am I missing something or is this a rule more hono...

Net::HTTP::Unauthorized - how do I get at the WWW-Authenticate header?

Given the code below ...

Testing across multiple sessions in merb using webrat

I want to test across multiple sessions using webrat in merb. Apparently, this is fairly easy to accomodate in Rails via: http://erikonrails.snowedin.net/?p=159.

How do I generate a view from the console/script-runner in merb?

I'd like to generate a lot of merb views (around 350.000) and save them to separate files programmatically (they will actually be XML files).

If SASS is part of HAML, why do I need Compass in Merb?

This is a theoretical question as much as a practical one. I just can't wrap my head around how all these technologies mesh... I have heard various things including: "HAML and SASS are included in Merb" "SASS is part of HAML" "HAML works in Merb, but to use SASS you need to add the 'merb-haml' dependency"(?) "You need Compass to run ...
