This is a Node.js module to keep sessions in a Redis datastore and add some useful methods.
The main purpose of this module is to generalize sessions across application server platforms. We use nginx reverse proxy to route parts of a website to a NodeJS server and other parts could be Python, Ruby, .net, PHP, Coldfusion or Java servers. You can then use [rest-sessions](https://github.com/smrchy/rest-sessions) to access the same sessions on all app servers via a simple REST interface.

Notes:
* You might want to store this token in a cookie / localStorage / sessionStorage.
* If you use Express check out [https://www.npmjs.com/package/connect-redis-sessions](Connect-Redis-Sessions).
* As long as the `ttl` isn't reached this token can be used to get the session object for this user.
* Remember that a user (`user1001` in this case) might have other sessions.
* If you want to limit the number of sessions a user might have you can use the `soid` (sessions of id) method to find other sessions of this user or the `killsoid` (Kill sessions of id) method to kill his other sessions first.
