Hi, 

we are using pgadmin in a docker container on aws. To ensure that the container 
is up and running, a healthcheck is periodically checking via http, restarting 
the container if neccessary. 

When checking the filesystem, we found that for each request, a session file is 
created. Healthcheck is done twice every 30secs, so we have about 5600 session 
files a day. (about 100k after a few days..)


I looked at the sourcecode and found that in session.py, line 259 it looks like 
cookies should not be created for static resources

-

def open_session(self, app, request): 
cookie_val = request.cookies.get(app.session_cookie_name) 

if not cookie_val or '!' not in cookie_val: 
# Don't bother creating a cookie for static resources 
for sp in self.skip_paths: 
if request.path.startswith(sp): 
return None

-

unfortunately, in __init__.py, when setting up the session interface, 
skip_paths is empty and so a cookie gets created also for static resources (i'm 
no python hacker, so maybe i'm missing something)


So my question is - is there an url that can be used for healthchecking, that 
does not create a session file on every check ?


thanks a lot,
