Hi Zsombor,
  
  Thank you very much for your reply.
  I will test it out right now.

For develpment&&testing you should change test.rb, and development.rb:

ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS.update(
:session_domain => '.localhost.com')

then configure your /etc/hosts file to map localhost.com,
something.localhost.com to 127.0.0.1. You now have a subdomained
development setup at your disposal!

For functional tests you would place this into test/test_helper.rb

module ActionController
  class TestRequest
    def with_subdomain(subdomain=nil)
      the_host_name = "localhost.com"
      the_host_name = "#{subdomain}.localhost.com" if subdomain
      self.host = the_host_name
      self.env['SERVER_NAME'] = the_host_name
      self.env['HTTP_HOST'] = the_host_name
    end
  end
end

then for test suites needing subdomained requests you can add this to your
setup:

@request.with_subdomain('primalgrasp')
