[Building Sakai] Avoid session expiration via restful

[Francisco]

Hi Charles,

thanks for the answer.

We are developing a sakai interface for android devices, and I don't 
want to load the HTML (for the momento we are not using any browser). 
The problem is, for now, I can not keep the session alive. Looking the 
method poll_session_data(), I've seen something about "auto" equals to 
true or false. But it don't work in any way. I also tried other restful 
calls (like get sites list), but session always expire.

Maybe that's because we are using directly java HttpURLConnections, 
without any browser?

So, in terms of efficency, what's the best option: modify the session 
restful method to refresh it or call the portal URL as neoscripts.js does?

Thanks again.
Cheers,
Francisco.
