Session Temp Files Plugin

The Session Temp Files Plugin allows an application to store temporary files bound to a user's session that will be automatically cleaned up when the session expires or is destroyed for any other reason. This can be useful for storing uploaded files during validation before moving them to permanent storage, for example. Even if the user closes the browser or otherwise exits a workflow in a way the application does not handle the files will get cleaned up when the session expires.
