Is the setting SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE mis-named? As far as I
can tell the setting doesn't influence the session expiry at all
(e.g., what happens to the django_session table on the server). What
this setting seems to affect is the expiry of the *cookie* in the
browser.
I'm looking into a way for django to detect users no longer on the
site (i.e. authenticated users who rather than logout, have navigated
away from the site or closed their browser). From the name, I had
thought this setting would be useful. It looks like it'll be useful
for the client side, but for the server side it's irrelevant surely?
A clearer name would be something like
SESSION_COOKIE_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE.
Best wishes
Ivan
