Overview

File-based session storage class.

Implements session storage as a flat file of 'key=value' values. This storage type only works directly with String values; the user is responsible for converting other types to Strings when storing and from Strings when retrieving.

Class Method Summary

Instance Method Summary

  • #close

    Update and close the session's FileStore file.

  • #delete

    Close and delete the session's FileStore file.

  • #restore

    Restore session state from the session's FileStore file.

  • #update

    Save session state to the session's FileStore file.

Constructor Details

.new(session, option = {}) ⇒ FileStore

Create a new FileStore instance.

This constructor is used internally by ::CGI::Session. The user does not generally need to call it directly.

session is the session for which this instance is being created. The session id must only contain alphanumeric characters; automatically generated session ids observe this requirement.

option is a hash of options for the initializer. The following options are recognised:

tmpdir

the directory to use for storing the FileStore file. Defaults to Dir::tmpdir (generally “/tmp” on Unix systems).

prefix

the prefix to add to the session id when generating the filename for this session's FileStore file. Defaults to “cgi_sid_”.

suffix

the prefix to add to the session id when generating the filename for this session's FileStore file. Defaults to the empty string.

This session's FileStore file will be created if it does not exist, or opened if it does.
