This option provides variable session timeout control for Web service applications. A Web service application can change the timeout value from within any request that owns the HTTP session, but a change to the timeout value can impact subsequent queued requests if the HTTP session times out. The Web application must include logic to detect whether a client is attempting to access an HTTP session that no longer exists. This can be done by examining the value of the SessionCreateTime connection property to determine whether a timestamp is valid: if the HTTP request is not associated with the current HTTP session, the SessionCreateTime connection property contains an empty string.
