Handling of login token: need method to refresh token

[gruijter]

Since version alpha4 it is possible to login using a token. This token however expires after 1 or 2 hours. Is it possible to provide a method that will refresh the token in time (preferably fully automatic :) )?

You can refresh the token by just logging in again with a username and password :)

Sure, but then I get #91

Well, the token refresh feature will be doing that. I cant find any code in the magister web client which refreshes the token...

I think its a better idea to try to fix your error.

Indeed, the way I would implement this feature would be by relogging in. (which kinda is already slightly supported, or at least it was on v1, I don't remember if I ported it over to v2).

So there is, as far as you are aware, no way to make a token last longer? Say a couple days or a week? This could allow people to authenticate once and then reuse the token for subsequent logins. However, if the token needs to be "refreshed" every couple hours it would just be a nuisance.

I also came across this page a couple days ago, will there be any complications for Magister.js?
