Session.Cancel() about session

[Tratcher]

What precisely would you want cancel to do? Discard the data? Delete the cookie?

@Tratcher i.e. destroy the session, because Session.Clear() will remove all the objects stored in a session, but the session will be destroyed when the session times out.

So you're asking for Cancel() to delete the session from storage (wherever that may be).

There is very little difference between an empty session and a non-existent session from the storage perspective. In fact, I could optimize the storage logic to ignore/discard empty sessions entirely (right here?). That would make session.Clear() equivalent to session.Cancel().

@Tratcher I thought that Session.Clear() removes all the objects stored in a session but not destroy the session. Thanks for your clarification
