Wt

I have an app (page) with a logoff button. If the user presses the button, I do a redirect to a static page and a quit. This makes the session be removed and my app object be deleted, which is what I want.

I also have a timer which will emit if the user doesn't log off within a certain time. This is in case the user walks away. If that happens, I post the action to be taken in the session context (since the signal will be received on a different thread, as this is not a WTimer):

    // In the application object handler for a timeout signal from a non-Wt::WTimer
    Wt::WSession::instance()->post(sessionId(), 
        [=]()
    {
        m_login.logout();
        redirect("/loggedout");
        quit();
    });

What happens is that a new session and a new app object are created. I need to avoid that. The log says "Wt: signal from dead session, sending reload."

I believe this is because the web page in the browser sends a 'keep alive' signal, which Wt intercepts and finds comes from a dead session. If necessary and possible I could turn off those keep alives when the timer signal is received. But how do I do that?

Is there a way to solve my problem: When the user logs out, or the timer forces logout, then I want to show a static page.
