Allen Hunt	I've got a project where I have user's who login exactly like the example login module project (using an external EWB module). I trying to figure out how a restore the state if a user does a refresh. I want them to be able to remain logged in and have the same form open. Is there anyone who can give me a hint how to do this? Thank you so much! Best Regards, Allen

You could use Cookies of LocalStorage to store/read everything you want. After a logout you can delete these settings. Uli

These session IDs are typically sent back to the client as HTTP-only cookies with an expiration. 2) In the client application, a way to handle when the server application rejects a request because the session ID is no longer valid and the client needs to re-authenticate, repeating step 1). Both of these things are handled transparently with EWB 3, so that will save you quite a bit of time once it is released (and provided that you are using the EWB Web Server).
