Renew IIS session with an image request?

I have the same situation but it is not as mission critical as the OPs. =
After reading these posts I got to thinking. We can use a =
Response.BinaryWrite in a ASP. This bmp can be as small as 1px. Then =
in the ASP that we are using for the application we could JavaScript a =
call to it periodically. The src attributes width and height we could =
set to 0. That would replenish the Session and put actually nothing in =
the ASP that calls it. Probably a better way but just an idea.
