MECHANISM FOR MANAGING A COMMUNICATION SESSION

The invention relates to a management method for managing a communication session (SS_WS) between a terminal (1) suitable for exchanging application messages (MSG_WS) with at least one server (3) via the communication session (SS_WS). The method is characterized in that it comprises the following steps performed by a management device: setting up (E1) the communication session (SS_WS) for exchanging application messages between the terminal (1) and the server (3); initializing (E2) a time period (T_timer); partially closing (E3) the communication session (SS_WS) between the terminal and the management device at the end of the time period (T_timer) if no application message (MSG_WS) relating to the communication session has been received; detecting (E4) at least one application message (MSG_WS) relating to the communication session and coming from the server; and requesting a notification server to restore (E4) the communication session (SS_WS), said notification server sending a restoration request in the form of a notification that is independent of the session.
