Disable touch on certain paths

Hi,

I have some paths that are pinged by the user with a certain interval, I don’t want to reset the session TTL when those paths are called. The paths dosen’t manipulate the session in any way, but still the touch function is used.

Am i missing something or is this a bug? When checking out the code in index.js it seems like it will always do a save/touch if cookieId and sessionId match.

session(
                {
                    saveUninitialized: true,
                    unset: 'destroy',
                    resave: false, //https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-session#resave 
                    rolling: true, //https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-session#rolling 
                    proxy: true, //https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-session#proxy
                    name: "connect.sid",
                    store: new RedisStore(
                        {
                            host: config.redis.database.host,
                            port: config.redis.database.port,
                            db: config.redis.database.index,
                            pass: config.redis.database.password
                        }
                    ),
                    secret: config.session.secret,
                    cookie:
                    {
                        maxAge: config.session.ttl,
                        secure: true
                    }
                }
            )

@EmmEm , I hope you’re doing well. Did you ever figure out this requirement? I’d like to disable session.touch() as well for a logged in user so their session expires a certain time limit after logging in.

Hi, thanks for your answer.

But if the case is that I want the session to be picked up in that path. But don’t want the session touched?

The path is only accessible if the user is logged in.
