Active sessions and the cookie store
Reported by Xavier Noria | December 26th, 2007 @ 11:50 PM | in Second Edition
To ponder the inclusion of a remark about the cookie store in the section "Tracking Active Sessions":
Active sessions cannot be computed in the server if you use the cookie store because you have effectively distributed all your sessions to the clients.
If you need to know how many users are online you can still have a dedicated timestamp:
# run after authentication
current_user.update_attribute('last_request_at', Time.now) if logged_in?
