[Update at the bottom] The problem is that after each reload of the page, regardless of what I put in the session, session gets 'reset'.

For example:

session[:test]="test"
puts session.inspect.to_s -> {"test"=>"test"}
(page reload)
puts session.inspect.to_s -> {"csrf"=>"b400efd6.....2362bd", "tracking"=>{"HTTP_USER_AGENT"=>"12a007....b", "HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"=>"...."}}

In my nginx configuration I have:

proxy_pass       http://localhost:9292;

In main.rb file I have:

configure do
(...)
set :sessions, key: '1234567',
    path: '/',
    expire_after: 86400,
    secret: '7654321'
(...)
end

[Update] It turns out that the response does not contain - set-cookie with the session id. Currently I am using CF->NGINX->Thin/Sinatra. Everything works fine without nginx.

Try adding `proxy_cookie_domain localhost $host;` – Tarun Lalwani Oct 26 '17 at 19:12
tried, session is lost after page reload, redirect. Also tried https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18844863/sinatra-clears-session-on-post – meso_2600 Oct 27 '17 at 07:29
Does it work when you access the page directly on localhost:9292? Try isolate the problem either to nginx or to backend – Tarun Lalwani Oct 27 '17 at 07:34
it works on localhost, thought it was session stickiness but cookies are being set with the session – meso_2600 Oct 27 '17 at 07:41
Session would always requires cookie? – Tarun Lalwani Oct 27 '17 at 07:45
check my updated response – meso_2600 Oct 27 '17 at 07:45
ok I can see cookie with the session id is not being set when using nginx – meso_2600 Oct 27 '17 at 07:46
