Since a server is a program that takes request and send response, and
that the Internet connection is stateless, I don't think you can use the
server to detect when the browser is closed.
The only way I know would be to set a time out on the session and do the
logic when the session time out occurs.
Hope that helps.

Subject: how to detect a browser closing
Hi,
I have the following problem:
I want to detect on the server side when a user (which has an open
session on the server) has closed his browser by pressing the "X" close
button of the window.
I know that using http sessions is probably the unique way, but I don't
know how, as I
don't know if the server can't initiate by itself such a check ?
Many thanks for any suggestions,
Ionel C.
