Re: Method call at end of Django session

Hi,

I don't think you can reliably do that. Django never knows when the user closes his browser window. Because a session is stateless (there is only a connection to the server when it responds to a request). However you could do this via a bit of ajax or a pretty unreliable javascript event.

What I would do is to ping the server via javascript once every minute or so - you then update a timestamp on a session object or the user model or something like that. Then if the timestamp is older than 5 minutes, you can safely delete the temporary files.

Another way would be to add an event handler to the onbeforeunload event, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20853142/trying-to-detect-browser-close-event. When the event fires, you just fire an ajax call to your server that deletes the files.

HOWEVER, I know that this doesn't always fire and can be a bit tricky. But it's worth a shot.

Regards,

Andréas

Want to know how and where can I implement a method in Django which is
to called automatically only when a session end ( i.e. when user close
the webapp or browser ). I want to know where that method should be
written, how to call it automatically  after end of session.

I want to use this method to delete some user specific files created
after background processing in my webapp.
