Comment (by chrisz):
@ChrisA: You probably mean `BaseVisitManager.interval`, not
`visit.timeout`. That interval was not yet configurable, but I made it
configurable now in r6751 via the new `visit.interval` setting. The
default is 30 seconds.
@mitsuru.oka: You probably mean `visit.timeout`, not `visit.time`. This
setting is in minutes. Since the visit manager interval is much smaller
than 10 minutes, it would not happen under the conditions you described.
However, the basic problem analysis is correct. The described problem
''can'' happen if `T3-T2 < 0.5` and `T2 < T1+60 < T3`. E.g. `T2 = T1+59.8`
and `T3 = T1+60.2`.
In practice this means it can happen that the user would issue a request
after waiting for a long time very close to the timeout and it works, then
some seconds later he tries again but is logged off. That would be in fact
confusing. Making `visit.interval` smaller and `visit.timeout` larger
reduces the probability for this to happen, but never gets it to zero. So
maybe we need to solve this more properly.
