Re: session expired -> how to know if the session is new or old

Hi, I want to redirect my users to a session expired page and not directly to a blank login page based on wheter this is just a gc colected session. In case the user goes to sleep but leaves the browser open and then in the morning he comes back and does something the browser will send the session id he got before sleeping.
