Access `session` within rails controller thread

Question

How do I see / change session data from within a thread within rails? See this code snippet inside my controller:

def controller_action
  session[:something] = \         


        

Answer 1

Why do you need to change session data in a background thread?

Are you using the default cookie store, because if you are I'm not sure how this would work. If you were to switch to the memcached/database session store you might have more luck as you can access the session after the request has finished.
