Make connections persistent. #27

Open TheGrandmother opened 8 years ago

Well this is tied in and in a bit of a conflict with issue #26.

We need to have a way of making the connections persistent when one reloads the web page. Unfortunately that is not possible to do with javascript.

We some how need to add a connection id so that the the server can detect when the same client gets a and remove the old one.

This should happen seamless. This might be hard to implement but in the meantime I could add a warning pop-up when someone tries to leave or reload the page.

how about using sessions in the browser?

TheGrandmother commented 8 years ago

I'm considering closing this. Since the server still logs out upon connection termination.

I have added a warning when the user tries to leave the page.

This could actually be solved quite easily. Just let te client send a REESTABLISH message with the session ID upon every new connection. We then have the server store valid session ID's and if such a session ID exists the connection is immediately reestablished. If the session id is not valid on the server (due to a logout or a time out) the server will await a normal authentication.
