Appian WEB API Sessions

I'd be interested to know this as well. Given Web APIs use HTTP basic authentication, you'd expect them to behave as described here - en.wikipedia.org/.../Basic_access_authentication - ie there'd be a cache of some sort, but only for a maximum around 15 minutes.

Thinking about it, this would actually be relatively simple to test; just build a webAPI and call it from your browser. Enter the username and password requested, and view the result. Next, hit F5 to refresh the page. If you're prompted to enter the credentials then there's no caching, but if you aren't there's some caching somewhere - though it might be difficult to tell where. Maybe the browser debug tools could help there though?
