Web Interface locks up after being up open for a long time.

Versions

• Pi-hole: 5.12.2
• AdminLTE: 5.15.1
• FTL: 5.18.1

Platform

• OS and version: Win11
• Platform: Raspberry Pi

Expected behavior

After having the Web UI open for a while (A few days?) I click on disable blocking -> 5 min. I'm hoping that the Blocking gets disabled.

Actual behavior / bug

What actually happens (After the UI is open a while). Clicking on Disable Blocking ->For 5 Minutes. The spinner shows, but it doesn't spin. I need to actually refresh the page to actually be able to disable blocking

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Web Interface and leave open for a few hours (1 day?)
2. Click on Disable Blocking -> For 5 Minutes
3. See error: Spinner shows but doesn't spin. Doesn't actually disable blocking.

Additional context

Super low priority, bit this has been present for quite a few versions. Ill confirm that it shows up in the newest version.

Thanks for the report. I can confirm the behavior.

This happens because the session has expired (after the UI is open for a long time), but there is no response when you click the button.

Note: As you said, it's low priority. This is not a security issue, as the button only works if the session is active, but I think it can be a bit annoying for those who often leave the page open in their browser.

Great! I just wanted to make sure that it was logged.

It is a little annoying, but I'm sure there are bigger issues to tackle.

This issue is stale because it has been open 30 days with no activity. Please comment or update this issue or it will be closed in 5 days.

This is still a thing, and I didn't want it to be auto-closed.

Any chance to sneak this into v6?

[rdwebdesign]

v6 doesn't use PHP to handle sessions.

In v6, this won't happen because the web interface will show the login page when session is expired.

Amazing! Thx.
