The more I think about this, the more problems I see with my idea, you need to either restrict your users to one browser window (possibly with a secondary page key of some sort) or have the refresh bounce to an alternate uri that refreshes the page without updating the server's session timer.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Never mind, that's too simple. It breaks if users open up multiple pages unless you increase the refresh to just over twice the timeout, which may be an issue since presumably you don't want your user's expired sessions hanging around in their browser. Even simpler put a refresh tag in the page with a refresh a little over the session timeout value, then the site's handler for expired sessions can do the rest. -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Hartmaier [mailto:alexander.hartma...@t-systems.at] Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 10:03 AM To: The elegant MVC web framework Subject: Re: [Catalyst] Check session expiry without extending it Why not return the datetime when the session expires with every page and have a client-side js that does the redirect without hammering the server? -- Best regards, Alex Am Dienstag, den 02.03.2010, 21:43 +0100 schrieb Steve Kleiman: > Using Catalyst::Plugin::Session with Session::State::Cookie. > > Would like to be able to poll server if the user's session has expired > WITHOUT extending the session itself. > > The objective is to have a javascript periodical executor check if a session > is expired and redirect user to a "Your session has expired" page if > appropriate.
