Hi, I need to destory a session for a given user. (Using sso at the moment) but my users can logout of my main website but I want them to be able logged out of the forum at the same time. Here’s what I’ve tried (cut down test) $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://forum.blah.com/session/admin1?api_key= =&api_username=system'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "DELETE"); $response = curl_exec($ch); var_dump($response); I get a 302 redirect ever time. But if I do a delete from postman with the same url it works perfectly… What am I missing?!

Hi Matt, thanks for the reply. I’ve change the domain to forum.blah.uk but here’s the response otherwise unchanged: HTTP/1.1 302 Found\r\n Server: nginx\r\n Date: Tue, 06 Sep 2016 22:45:27 GMT\r\n Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n Transfer-Encoding: chunked\r\n Connection: keep-alive\r\n X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN\r\n X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block\r\n X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff\r\n X-Discourse-Username: system\r\n X-Discourse-Route: session/destroy\r\n Location: https://forum.blah.uk/\r\n Set-Cookie: _forum_session=OERYWXRwYzlOY015T0lsT1ZJTzFKUlgwMnp3U2Uyd21lU1FXM3d5d0pzbXBXbXZUaDhzSG9QUFRUSi9iVlRaamNOS1I0bkExTzNqRzZEcWowVVl6S2c9PS0tbXNwR2p1aVJpZENHcVZ1V2plWmhNQT09--3e85c9bbc1ba07ef0131817b2576c9b4bbdaf1f2; path=/; HttpOnly\r\n X-Request-Id: 16368f90-e840-4c55-8e66-7a4bb600c5b3\r\n X-Runtime: 0.048811\r\n Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=6912000\r\n X-UA-Compatible: IE=edge\r\n \r\n HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\r\n Server: nginx\r\n Date: Tue, 06 Sep 2016 22:45:27 GMT\r\n Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n Content-Length: 0\r\n Connection: keep-alive\r\n X-Request-Id: cf4a6822-f53d-4360-8250-b0a94bb924de\r\n X-Runtime: 0.022277\r\n \r\n Can’t see anything in the error logs :persevere:

Looking at the code, the redirect is actually expected behaviour… sort of: def destroy reset_session log_off_user if request.xhr? render nothing: true else redirect_to (params[:return_url] || path("/")) end end If you add an X-Requested-With: XMLHTTPRequest header to your request, that’ll suppress the redirect, and you’ll get an empty-body 200 OK instead.

Cool I’ll give it a go. Thanks

Where do you get redirected to, and what do the app logs say about the request?
