You could force a connection by embedding a REFRESH directive in your headers,
set to 32 minutes (X + 2 minutes, where X is the timeout). That way, just
after the session expired on the server, the browser would attempt a page
reload. If the person had left an application page sitting open, then it could
do something interactive, like send them to a login screen to re-authenticate.
If the user had closed his or her browser, or left the site, then the session
would quietly expire on the server.
