Descriptions

In Apache HTTP Server 2.4 release 2.4.37 and prior, mod_session checks the session expiry time before decoding the session. This causes session expiry time to be ignored for mod_session_cookie sessions since the expiry time is loaded when the session is decoded.

En Apache HTTP Server 2.4, en sus distribuciones 2.4.37 y anteriores, mod_session comprueba el tiempo de caducidad de la sesión antes de descodificarla. Esto provoca que se ignore el tiempo de caducidad de la sesión para sesiones mod_session_cookie, debido a que el tiempo de caducidad se carga cuando la sesión está descodificada.
