I'm using session2 with MySQLSessionStore. and test with the altdemo login,
logout function.

My problem is that sessionID did not save on a cookie file,
When view cookies in FireFox, only one cookie entry for my server, it shows:
Expires: at end of session

While with google, there are several cookie entries and some shows,
Expires: at end of session
but others show different, like,
Expires: Sunday, January 17, 2038 7:00:00 PM

I tried plain cgi(with apache as http server) and  scgi(with lighttpd),
same thing. , after restart browser, it's another session and ask you to
login again.

I also tried altdemo with durus,
you have to comment out one line in altdemo.py:
#    print 'Opening %r as a Durus database.' % filename

then edit a .cgi file(e.g. altdemo.cgi), put:
***************************************************
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import os

if __name__ == '__main__':
    from durussessiondemo import create_durus_publisher
    run(create_durus_publisher)
****************************************************
run it,
same thing, after restart browser, it's another session and ask you to login
again.

I'm confuse how William's browser back to the same session(or different
session but still logged as the same user) after restart?

I guess my question is how to set cookies expiration date to a long time in
Quixote,
such as: Expires: Sunday, January 17, 2038 7:00:00 PM,
so the session will never expire(or user's login never expire)
Do we need to handle it ourselves or William is right, maybe some
configration in Quixote I don't know?

Thanks for all the help!
Tom
