Most Internet-sites work with session Time-outs. I've often suffered the happening that I entered something, the entered wasn't valid, until I found out what was wrong, the server terminated the session, And one has do do it all over again. Here my Sugestion: Why not have a "keepalive" button, that does a head Request to the actual address every n Seconds (there could be a dialog with the time) which would the Server make think that I'm still working on it, while getting the needed Circumstances to proceed my work?
hmm... interesting suggestion. the real question is what is the server using to determine session timeout... time since a particular cookie was last sent? probably. at any rate, no time for this bug now -> future.

Summary: Automatic Session Keep Alive? → [RFE] Automatic Session Keep Alive?
Target Milestone: --- → Future
usualy the server keeps a number of active sessions, and cleans them (and their data) up if a given amount of time is passed, the session-data is thrown away. (this is either practice if one uses cookies or query-string)
