rails: how to save a big array in session? (ActionDispatch::Cookies::CookieOverflow)

Question

Im trying to save a array in a session which is much bigger than 4 KB.

In this case the: ActionDispatch::Cookies::CookieOverflow Error occures.

Does anybody have a hint how to save a bigger array in a session? Saving it to the db is not what I want.

Thanks, Markus

You need change your session_store and don't use the cookie_store. You can use the active_record_store by example.
