[Opensource] Cookie settings

[D Lloyd]

If you want to keep a session open indefinately, even when the user is
inactive, as long as the browser is open, consider using frames or iframes
or javascript to 'ping' the server at predetermined intervals that are
less than the timeout setting.  Beware of the consequences though.  The
first is increased memory use of having many people leaving the browser
open.  The inability to login via another machine and it work the way you
expect if you have logic based on workflow or multiple logins, etc.
