+In the last case of the above example, we can tell the session object
+explicitly that it has been modified by setting the ``modified`` attribute on
+the session object::
+
+ request.session.modified = True
+
To change this default behavior, set the ``SESSION_SAVE_EVERY_REQUEST`` setting
to ``True``. If ``SESSION_SAVE_EVERY_REQUEST`` is ``True``, Django will save
the session to the database on every single request.
