From my knowledge of how servers and clients work when it comes to the web, the information pushed outside of a browser request would probably be ignored. Just because the session won't expire for 20 minutes doesn't mean that the client has a connection with the server that whole time. The browser initiates the socket connection to the server and provides the actual "line" that the web server transmits down. For a server to push a page to a browser by itself would mean that the browser would have to be listening, which would make it a server, and not a client (note: a browser is a client).

Hope that helps,
Nate
