It is, mostly, if your application isn't written with those kinds of tools and the application supports deep linking.

That isn't your problem, your user agent isn't one, it has no UI, it's just a Javascript thread. If it did, you could turn on the post preservation feature and it would more or less work, at least with Apache. With no UI capability, that simply can't be relied upon.
The only solution I know of is to take over the session management so timeouts aren't possible.
