Avoid logging Session cookie encryptor error: ... by default? #29

@dentarg

Description

@dentarg

Does it makes sense to be able to silence this logging or make it opt-in?

rescue Rack::Session::Encryptor::Error => error
request.env[Rack::RACK_ERRORS].puts "Session cookie encryptor error: #{error.message}"

Maybe behind $VERBOSE as done here?

req.get_header(RACK_ERRORS).puts("Deferring cookie for #{session_id}") if $VERBOSE

Looks like it can log the following variants of Session cookie encryptor error: <message>

  • wrong version
  • Message is invalid
  • invalid message
  • HMAC is invalid

I'm not sure they're useful to always have enabled (in production) as any user can trigger at least Session cookie encryptor error: Message is invalid by sending bogus data in the Cookie header.
