=====================

Author: [Fabrizio Branca](https://twitter.com/fbrnc)

See: [colinmollenhour/Cm\_RedisSession#91](https://github.com/colinmollenhour/Cm_RedisSession/issues/91)

Bots (including load balancers and reverse proxies) will create many sessions that will never be used again. Instead we're detecting them based on the user agent and will skip creating a real session.

Configuration
-------------
