This is actually not a flaw of httpGate, but results from the fact that when a
session expires, it is gone. No way to re-activate it without a new
authentication.

In praxis, this is not a problem. A session never expires as long as the user
does not close the browser, or moves to some other place without keeping at
least one tab open to the application.

httpGate does have such a fallback: If a file (or symbolic link) named "void"
exists, it is sent as a reply for terminated sessions. It may contain anything,
e.g. a redirect to the application's login page.
