wib does not work without cookies

Description

The Web Image Builder does not work without Cookies.

The error message: 

Application error (Rails)

I didn't notice beforehand because www.freewrt.org was on the exception list, while wib.freewrt.org wasn't, so the old URL worked fine. As i do not like Cookies, i would welcome a solution not using them. If the current code does not allow such a solution, at least change the error message to something meaningfull.

(Tested with Opera 9.10 and Firefox 2.0.)

Btw: Why is the source of the wib not public? I would be happy trying to create patches and i belive there are other people out there willing to help, too.

Hi,

Sourcecode for the WIB will be committed to svn soon. Dave just needs to do some cleanup.

Non-Cookie support is not planned, sorry.

Nevertheless, please change the error message from 

Application error (Rails)

to something like 

Sorry, you need to enable Cookies to use the Web Image Builder.

While it's not a problem to enable Cookies only on a specific site with modern browsers, it _is_ a problem to notice the need to do so with the current message. I'm fine with websites relying on cookies, but unmeaningfull error messages are just enervating and unnecessary in every aspect.
