I think the way most people do this is:

1) Do nothing with javascript
2) In /auto, check if the session is timed out
3) If so, print an error message instead of doing the full request

Skip this check for the /login page, obviously.

The idea is to let the user know why their action failed, not to pop up
messages saying "something might fail in the future!"  Plus it's easier
to implement, and works with every browser.
