changing maxAge of session cookie at runtime.

[Amit Kumar]

By default express sets a maxAge for the session cookie.

I wish to change the maxAge after the session cookie has been set, if the user chooses to be remembered while he logs in. So right now he'll be logged out after maxAge has expired no matter what, but I need to increase maxAge to say 1 year if the user chooses remember me.

How can i do this?

at the user-level you can do req.session.cookie.expires = someDate or req.session.cookie.maxAge = ageInMilliseconds

will that change the maxAge for the existing cookie?

yea, the .maxAge pseudo property ends up becoming an "expires" relative to Date.now()

not an actual cookie max-age, I think IE has issues
