Yes I understand. Maybe it check only if new HTTP request are done.
But the problem isn't here because it works fine.
After the Idle-Timeout I need to be relogged to access to the Internet.
I just want tu update the session time value when there is an
Idle-Timeout for the user.

The session has an infinite time because the user need to log out
using the Chillispot "log out" link on the pop-up. I would like the
user doesn't need to clic on the link.
Can we do this?
