Why cookie doesn't work using Sinatra and Omniauth?

Question

I need to change a cookie from "Session" type to "Persistent" type. Moreover I need to have it working together with "omniauth-facebook". In the example below everything is working well but when I use omniauth the cookie is not set at all. This is the test code I wrote:

require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
require 'encrypted_cookie'
require 'omniauth-facebook'
use Rack::Session::EncryptedCookie, :secret => "fdstopitot9dasdsdasjm4kmt0èu54cmjff83d2'ìel.4j9c"
use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :facebook, '290594154312564','a26bcf9d7e254db82566f31c9d72c94e'
end
get "/" do
  "persistent | session | /auth/facebook"
end
get "/persistent" do
  response.set_cookie 'test', {:value=> "persistent", :max_age => 2592000.to_s}
  redirect "/"
end
get "/session" do
  response.set_cookie 'test', {:value=> "session"}
  redirect "/"
end
get '/auth/:provider/callback' do
  response.set_cookie 'test', {:value=> "facebook_callback"}
  redirect "/"
end

Clicking on /session or /persistent you can see the cookie changing accordingly (in Chrome you can check cookies with F12 > Resources > Cookies > localhost).

Clicking instead on /auth/facebook the cookie is not set at all.

The response header seems ok (in Chrome you can see the http response header with F12 > Network > header). I only tested it with Chrome.

Any clue?

Is was a trivial problem, just add the path to the cookie: response.set_cookie 'test', {:value=> "facebook_callback", :path => "/"} Should I remove the question? — Lucamug, Sep 29 '13 at 12:03

The reason why I did not notice was that there is a redirect to "/", so Chrome was only showing me the cookies for the path "/". Removing the redirect, I notice I have two cookies named "test". One with "/" path and the other with "/auth" path.
