Custom Session Data

[mrrooijen]

Hi,

Is it possible to access a user's session data from a route that's handling a websocket?

get "/room/:id" do |room_id|
  room = Room.find(room_id)
  user = User.find(session[:uid])

  if RoomConnAuthorizer.new(room, user).authorized?
    request.websocket do |ws|
      ws.onopen { publish(room, "#{user.name} connected.") }
      ws.onclose { publish(room, "#{user.name} disconnected.") }
    end
  else
    401
  end
end

Is something like this possible? How does one authorize connecting users? The session appears to contain some information, such as session_id, but none of the custom data (such as session[:uid]) that has been previously set.

Any help much appreciated!

A bummer that this still seems to be an issue; the only session variables available to websockets are session_id, csrf and tracking.

Is this an abandoned project?
