Hi,
Let me give a gist of the problem we are facing.
We have implemented a timeout mechanism for each user who uses our
site. For instance, if a user does not access the site say for 30
minutes, he would automatically get timed out.
For enabling this, each our content page (static html), has been made to
go through a servlet, which keeps updating the database, for every single
hit, by which the timeout can be calculated.
Now, for the problem, if the page is on a proxy server, this does'nt go
to the server to fetch the page. So, the database does'nt get
updated. This results in giving unrealistic timeouts, when a user
has actually been using the site.
This does happen only when the network (corporates) is governed by a
proxy server.
Can anyone suggest me a solution for this problem ? It would be great
!! :).
cheers
suresh.
