Not sure, but googling a little bit I found that HTTP Response Header
has a field called 'Expires':

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7234#section-5.3

For more information about Response Header Fields:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-7

'session_timeout' is a variable present in Wok's configuration file 
(src/wok.conf.in line 27) and set in src/wok/config.py.in (line 273).
You can get it's value in backend, just importing wok.config and reading
it's value:

import wok.config as config
session_timeout = config.config.get("server", "session_timeout")
