ruby on rails - Why does devise not hash reset_password_token and confirmation_token? -


i figured out devise authentication framework rails not hash reset_password_token , confirmation_token in database? know why?

obviously bad approach store such value in plain text in database, has access database can reuse tokens , send them directly api (e.g. 1 can trigger password reset, without having access email). furthermore minimal effort store hash in database. that's why wonder ideas behind approach of plain tokens?

update: no 1 has opinion on that? point security issue looks 1 concerned :d

there wouldn't point hashing them in database. confirmation/reset email still have send token user app use identify them (an invitation/password reset token) against hashed key storing. if stored in plaintext or 2-way encryption have same problem, hacker use plaintext token , app happily hash , authenticate them. if stored 1-way encryption app wouldn't able extract actual token should send user.

someone has know actual, unhashed version of password/token. in passwords, actual password stored in user's head. in instance, actual token needs stored in database.

c# - Send Image in Json : 400 Bad request -

from android trying send image class of data, iis webservice. (c#) the problem 400 bad request . the image being encoded base64 . , placed json rest of class elements. my guess base64 not valid inside json. server not understand it. if set string "" , post accepted fine. so question is, how make base64 valid within json array? ( tried url.encode no success). or how should send image android webservice? gson gson = new gson(); string json = gson.tojson(record); // record has param { string base64photo } how big image? i'm pretty sure surpassing iis json size limit (default 4 mb). check http://geekswithblogs.net/frankw/archive/2008/08/05/how-to-configure-maxjsonlength-in-asp.net-ajax-applications.aspx or http://www.webtrenches.com/post.cfm/iis7-file-upload-size-limits good luck!
