How to include cookies in JSON response in Rails?

Question

I am creating a PhoneGap-based iPhone application that will connect to the Rails backend. I am using jQuery to create an Ajax request to a Rails server. I am successfully receiving a server response, but I am having problems getting cookies and session management.

By default, Rails sends a Set-cookie header when responding to an HTML request. This does not seem to happen when Rails sends a JSON response to an Ajax request.

Is there a way to send a Set-cookie header when an Ajax request is made to a Rails server?

Here is what I have in my ApplicationController (I use Devise for Authentication):

def sign_in_and_redirect(resource_or_scope, resource=nil)
scope      = Devise::Mapping.find_scope!(resource_or_scope)
resource ||= resource_or_scope
sign_in(scope, resource) unless warden.user(scope) == resource
respond_to do |format|
   format.html {redirect_to stored_location_for(scope) || after_sign_in_path_for(resource) }
   format.json {render :json => { :success => true, :session_id => request.session_options[:id], :current_user => current_user} }
end

Here is the jQuery function that I use to make an Ajax request

$('#user_submit').click(function(){
    $.ajax({beforeSend: function(xhrObj){ xhrObj.setRequestHeader("Accept","application/json");},
      type: 'POST',
      url: 'http://localhost:3000/users/sign_in',
      data: "{'user':{'remember_me':'0','password':'pass1word','email':'[e-mail]'}}",
      contentType: "application/json",
      dataType: "application/json",
      complete: function(data, textStatus){
      }
    });
 });
