[thelist] Sessions. When do they End?

[lon.kraemer]

Typically, a session lasts about 20 minutes. This can be adjusted at the
server or by you by specifying session.timeout=10 (for 10 minutes) in your
ASP script. Yes, the session does end when explicitly killed or when a user
closes her browser. If you want a session to end when a user leaves your
domain you'll have to do some sleight of code. You may be able to check the
isClientConnected method or pass a script through a clientside onunload
event.

What's your purpose for this need?
