Redmine

The only problem with this that leaving the 'path=' empty will not work in some clients, e.g. Mylyn plugin for Eclipse. This will be a problem if you use Redmine hosted as the main web like:
mydomain.com/

I've modified the patch to check if the RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT environment variable is empty. If not it is used.

Then javascript at mydomain.com could access the session
cookie.
Here's a simple patch to make the cookie path follow the
RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT environment variable.
I'm wondering if it's a rails bug or feature :)

Jean-Philippe: it seems this has affected at least 2 people already, so I'd say it should get included in 0.9.5. Anyway, the cookies should be pathed and http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Session/CookieStore.html suggests the default is /.

The patches mentionned here are not working :)
Here's some that would.

I've added some documentation about editing the session_path in the generated file. Since each Redmine generates that file from rake, it's not something we can just fix.

Merged to 0.9-stable for release.
