Google chrome session expire=null not working
express, google-chrome, javascript, node.js, session
Solution
This is a fairly wild guess, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it's this. Google chrome will keep running in the background if you have any extensions that make use of this installed. If that's the case after a log off-log in the session should be reset.
If that isn't it, could you please open the developer tools (`cmd+alt+i`) and copy all the information about the cookie from there (`resources`->`cookies`->`yourdomain.com`). (Especially what's written in the `Expires` column, because it should say `Session`)
Problem
According to connects documentation the session should expire when the browser is closed: By default `cookie.maxAge` is `null`, meaning no "expires" parameter is set so the cookie becomes a browser-session cookie. When the user closes the browser the cookie (and session) will be removed. I am using express 3 with connect-mysql for session store (Tried with connect-mongo too and its the same), and this is how i set the session data. ``` req.session.userid = results[0].id; req.session.ip = req.connection.remoteAddress; req.session.useragent = req.headers['user-agent']; req.session.is_logged_in = true; ``` This all works fine except in google chrome browser for some reason (This is in OS X Lion.I have no possibility to test under win or linux right now). Anyone had this problem in google chrome and know a way to fix it?
