You reference Aurigma’s image uploader in your post, did you try to integrate it in one of your apps? I’m trying to implement it but I wasn’t able yet and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong: http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/b6b5cf5b91297448#

Could you help me a bit? I’m sure it can’t be that difficult, I’m obviously overlooking something, beeing a noob.

I would appreciate your help very much!

The "low" setting has implications definitely though I believe most websites run that way.So with the session ID regenerated, you will actually have to find workarounds for the problems with Ajax calls. E.g. you may want to make the Ajax call pass the new session ID via the response and modify the cookie on the client's computer so the next call can have the write session ID read by the server. That said, I have not try this before and am not sure if it can work. :) If you store sensitive information on your website, I suggest using high instead.

A very weird different behaviour when accessing the site clicking on a link and putting the site's address directly on the browser bar.The session was lost in cakephp 1.2 alphaI have one question:Do the 'security low' has impact in the security of our site ?Maybe this could be a silly answer, but I don't know if other users could access switched sessions, or the sessions will be corrupted or the site will be hacker friendly with security low setting.Can you help me for the peace of my dreams ? Thank you !

We had the same problem. A very weird different behaviour when accessing the site clicking on a link and putting the site’s address directly on the browser bar.

The session was lost in cakephp 1.2 alpha

I have one question:

Do the ’security low’ has impact in the security of our site ?

Maybe this could be a silly answer, but I don’t know if other users could access switched sessions, or the sessions will be corrupted or the site will be hacker friendly with security low setting.

Can you help me for the peace of my dreams ?

These two settings caused me a day of pain as I kept getting kicked out of my session for the exact reason you mention (jQuery ajax request not sending correct session id) Fantastic – you have solved my problem.
