Abstract
Techniques for session transfer between resources are described in which session data for communication sessions is transferred between distinct web-based resources to enable continuation of the communication sessions as navigation between the resources occurs. In one approach, shared session storage accessible to authorized resources is employed to facilitate the transfer of session data. Code embedded in pages for different resources rendered by a browser (or other communication module) operates to store session data for communication sessions in the shared storage. When navigation occurs between different pages, authorizations of the different resources to utilize the shared session storage are determined and communication sessions that are active are maintained across page reloads for the authorized resources. This involves retrieving session data stored in the shared session storage and passing the session data that is retrieved to a communication service to reconnect to the communication sessions after navigation occurs.
