[hunchentoot-devel] Session Time Out - HELP!

[Edi Weitz]

If it times out after 15 minutes, I'd guess this has nothing to do
with session timeouts (as witnessed by session-too-old-p returning
NIL) because the default timeout is 30 minutes.  Are you sure there's
not a problem with cookies somewhere?
