Worked on the ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS repository to deliver a session idle timeout connectivity validation feature, focusing on improving reliability during intermittent network conditions. The approach involved implementing proactive web server connectivity checks before session operations, using PHP for backend development and system administration tasks. Connectivity handling was refactored to introduce a centralized getCurlConnection method, enhancing consistency and testability across the codebase. Error handling for cURL and file_get_contents was strengthened to reduce failures and unnecessary resource usage. By adding connectivity pre-checks in isApplicable, the solution avoided redundant operations, resulting in a more efficient and user-friendly session management experience.
January 2025 performance summary for ILIAS development highlights the delivery of reliability and connectivity improvements around session idle timeout. Implemented connectivity validation before session operations, refactored to use a centralized getCurlConnection method, and strengthened error handling for cURL and file_get_contents. Added proactive connectivity checks in isApplicable to avoid unnecessary work when the web server is unreachable. These changes reduce failed sessions, lower resource usage, and improve user experience in scenarios with intermittent connectivity.
