Detecting an inactive client during a communication session

A computer program product for controlling a communication session, said computer program product comprising:

• a computer usable medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, said computer usable program code comprising:
• computer usable program code configured to establish a communication session between a first device and a browser on a second device, wherein the communication session is a persistent hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) session in which a transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) connection persists throughout the persistent HTTP session;
• computer usable program code configured to transmit a message from the first device to the browser on the second device, wherein the message is a question;
• and
• computer usable program code configured to, in response to the first device receiving an illogical response to the question, terminate the communication session between the first device and the second device.

A system comprising:

• a processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage media;
• first program instructions to establish a communication session between the first device and a browser on a second device, wherein the communication session is a persistent hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) session in which a transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) connection persists throughout the persistent HTTP session;
• second program instructions to transmit a message from the first device to the browser on the second device, wherein the message is a question;
• and
• third program instructions to, in response to the first device receiving an illogical response to the question, terminate the communication session between the first device and the second device, and wherein the first, second, and third program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by the processor via the computer readable memory.
