A script to decode the Rails _session cookie
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# This interactive script decodes the _session cookie contents of the Rails
# Session Store. It can be useful when debugging session-related problems.
# Be aware that Firefox doesn't update the cookie contents on every request when
# you keep the according dialog open. If you have to debug HTTP regularly, I can
# recommend the Charles Web Debugging Proxy (http://www.charlesproxy.com/)
