Mark,

Sorry that part of the framework I can't change, its common framework that
is used for forcing people to login into applications on timeouts, and
closing of the browser.

Hey Andrew

Yeah I deal with that a fair bit so you have my sympathy - the worst
experience I've had are with things I inherit from myself, work I did years
ago, etc.. http://www.bash.org/?6824 sums it up nicely.

You might be able to do a nice trick here that will fix that problem.
I think that by default CF uses "in-memory" cookies to identify sessions, so
when the browser is closed the cookie dies. However you
*might* be able to trick CF into using persistent cookies that expire after
a certain period of time rather than when the browser is closed.

How? Not exactly sure... Get a tool that looks at HTTP headers like
LiveHTTPHeaders, ieHTTPHeaders or Fiddler, read up on cookies and how you
can control them in CFand see what you can do.

As the name implies - it'll return a string representation of the
array/struc, allowing you to get a *rough* idea of the amount of data in
there.
