Keep alive method

[abelrgr]

Would be great if there is any way to call a method with a separated time interval to call to an specific service to mantain the backend session alive

Like:

$( document ).idleTimer( {
	keepAlive:{
		timeout: 5000, //every 5 seconds call a determined backend function
		script: 'http://localhost/wakeup.php'
	}
});

I have this implemented in my real word example. The various methods of keeping the session alive made me decide to keep it external to the library.

In my situation I have the session renewed automatically every 5 minutes, and then idle timer kills it if inactive for 7 minutes. These are two separate threads if you want to think about it that way.
