Add ability to discard session
Reported by Michael King | November 13th, 2008 @ 08:15 PM | in 2.x
The ability to turn sessions off for controllers or actions works well, but what about the times when partially through an action you realize that you no longer need the session. At the moment the best you can do is reset the session and then an empty session is saved. I am proposing adding a new function called discard_session which will discard the current session the same way a reset will and create a new hash as if sessions were disabled.

When you write
words = phrase.to_s.dup.split(" "), it seems thatdupis redundant, and adds an unnecessary extra memory consumption.splitis not destructive, and can safely be called onphrase.to_s. -

Michael, could you give me a use case for when this would be something you were interested in doing?

There will be some major changes coming to sessions in 2.3. You'll be able to discard a session simply by setting the session to an empty hash. "session = {}"
