Hello 👋

I’d like to know whether it is possible to set up a session timeout with Ktor.
I am using the generic code we can find in the code samples

fun Application.mainModule() {
    // Intall the sessions feature with [MySession] class stored in the "MYSESSION_ID" cookie authenticated
    // to prevent manipulation, unless the [secretHashKey] has been leaked.
    install(Sessions) {
        cookie<MySession>("MYSESSION_ID") {
            transform(SessionTransportTransformerMessageAuthentication(secretHashKey))
        }
    }
    // The StatusPages features allow to catch unhandled exceptions.
    // We are going to use it to catch redirection exceptions and actually perform redirects
    // We are also going to use it to catch exceptions of sessions not found to redirect to our desired pages.
    install(StatusPages) {
        registerRedirections()
        registerSessionNotFoundRedirect<MySession>("/login")
    }
    // The routing feature allows to execute different code based on the request paths and http methods.
    routing {
        // For the '/' GET route, we are going to try to get a session (if not found it will redirect to the /login page)
        // And if successfully, we will show the user name, and will show a button for logging out.
        get("/") {
            val session = call.sessions.getOrThrow<MySession>()
            call.respondHtml {
                body {
                    p { +"Logged as ${session.user}" }
                    p { +"Your tokenValue is ${token_Value}" }
                    form(action = "/logout", method = <http://FormMethod.post|FormMethod.post>) {
                        input(InputType.submit) { value = "Logout" }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Thanks for your help !!
