This file provides the CGI::Session class, which provides session support for CGI scripts. A session is a sequence of HTTP requests and responses linked together and associated with a single client. Information associated with the session is stored on the server between requests. A session id is passed between client and server with every request and response, transparently to the user. This adds state information to the otherwise stateless HTTP request/response protocol.
A CGI::Session instance is created from a CGI object. By default, this CGI::Session instance will start a new session if none currently exists, or continue the current session for this client if one does exist. The new_session option can be used to either always or never create a new session. See new() for more details.
delete() deletes a session from session storage. It does not however remove the session id from the client. If the client makes another request with the same id, the effect will be to start a new session with the old session’s id.
The Session class associates data with a session as key-value pairs. This data can be set and retrieved by indexing the Session instance using ‘[]’, much the same as hashes (although other hash methods are not supported).
When session processing has been completed for a request, the session should be closed using the close() method. This will store the session’s state to persistent storage. If you want to store the session’s state to persistent storage without finishing session processing for this request, call the update() method.
The caller can specify what form of storage to use for the session’s data with the database_manager option to CGI::Session::new. The following storage classes are provided as part of the standard library:
CGI::Session::FileStore
stores data as plain text in a flat file. Only works with String data. This is the default storage type.
CGI::Session::MemoryStore
stores data in an in-memory hash. The data only persists for as long as the current Ruby interpreter instance does.
CGI::Session::PStore
stores data in Marshalled format. Provided by cgi/session/pstore.rb. Supports data of any type, and provides file-locking and transaction support.
Custom storage types can also be created by defining a class with the following methods:
new(session, options) restore # returns hash of session data. update close delete
Changing storage type mid-session does not work. Note in particular that by default the FileStore and PStore session data files have the same name. If your application switches from one to the other without making sure that filenames will be different and clients still have old sessions lying around in cookies, then things will break nastily!
Most session state is maintained on the server. However, a session id must be passed backwards and forwards between client and server to maintain a reference to this session state.
The simplest way to do this is via cookies. The CGI::Session class provides transparent support for session id communication via cookies if the client has cookies enabled.
If the client has cookies disabled, the session id must be included as a parameter of all requests sent by the client to the server. The CGI::Session class in conjunction with the CGI class will transparently add the session id as a hidden input field to all forms generated using the CGI#form() HTML generation method. No built-in support is provided for other mechanisms, such as URL re-writing. The caller is responsible for extracting the session id from the session_id attribute and manually encoding it in URLs and adding it as a hidden input to HTML forms created by other mechanisms. Also, session expiry is not automatically handled.

Error raised by the DRb module when an attempt is made to refer to the context’s current drb server but the context does not have one. See current_server.
Class representing a drb server instance.
A DRbServer must be running in the local process before any incoming dRuby calls can be accepted, or any local objects can be passed as dRuby references to remote processes, even if those local objects are never actually called remotely. You do not need to start a DRbServer in the local process if you are only making outgoing dRuby calls passing marshalled parameters.
Unless multiple servers are being used, the local DRbServer is normally started by calling DRb.start_service.
Timer id conversion keeps objects alive for a certain amount of time after their last access. The default time period is 600 seconds and can be changed upon initialization.
To use TimerIdConv:
DRb.install_id_conv TimerIdConv.new 60 # one minute
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a real matrix.
Computes the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix A.
If A is diagonalizable, this provides matrices V and D such that A = V*D*V.inv, where D is the diagonal matrix with entries equal to the eigenvalues and V is formed by the eigenvectors.
If A is symmetric, then V is orthogonal and thus A = V*D*V.t
For an m-by-n matrix A with m >= n, the LU decomposition is an m-by-n unit lower triangular matrix L, an n-by-n upper triangular matrix U, and a m-by-m permutation matrix P so that L*U = P*A. If m < n, then L is m-by-m and U is m-by-n.
The LUP decomposition with pivoting always exists, even if the matrix is singular, so the constructor will never fail. The primary use of the LU decomposition is in the solution of square systems of simultaneous linear equations. This will fail if singular? returns true.

A RingServer allows a Rinda::TupleSpace to be located via UDP broadcasts. Default service location uses the following steps:
A RingServer begins listening on the network broadcast UDP address.
A RingFinger sends a UDP packet containing the DRb URI where it will listen for a reply.
The RingServer receives the UDP packet and connects back to the provided DRb URI with the DRb service.
A RingServer requires a TupleSpace:
ts = Rinda::TupleSpace.new rs = Rinda::RingServer.new
RingServer can also listen on multicast addresses for announcements. This allows multiple RingServers to run on the same host. To use network broadcast and multicast:
ts = Rinda::TupleSpace.new rs = Rinda::RingServer.new ts, %w[Socket::INADDR_ANY, 239.0.0.1 ff02::1]
The InvalidRSSError error is the base class for a variety of errors related to a poorly-formed RSS feed. Rescue this error if you only care that a file could be invalid, but don’t care how it is invalid.
