A session starts the first time a page is requested from web2py where "session.forget()" is not in the controller.
The session key is stored on the user's browser in a session cookie. Cookies can have any preset expiration date (although IE6 is stupid about this and defaults most cookies to be session cookies) or the cookie can be a "session" cookie (this is not web2py specific). Session cookies expire whenever the user closes the browser or the user visits a page in web2py that has "session.clear()" in it. Does that clear things up? pedro wrote: > My doubts are more like: > > When exactly does a session start and ends? > Does closing the browser ends current session? > > Thank you > > > On 10 Okt, 05:53, "Steve Shepherd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> I will have a go at this. >> >> 1.
