Hi Tony,
On 2009-10-20 23:38 Tony Hansen said the following:
Henrik, given that there are issues with the various Logout mechanisms,
could there be a Logout link that goes to a page explaining the various
techniques and their issues/shortcomings? For example, the page could
include a link to
https://logout at wiki.tools.ietf.org/group/nomcom/09/input ** with an
explanation of the consequences of using it.
Done, try http://wiki.tools.ietf.org/group/nomcom/09/logout-info

** yes, I intentionally changed "dummy" to "logout".
I did exactly the same change when I implemented this earlier for test
purposes :-)
Best,
Henrik

I had more or less the same problem... Henrik sent me this 'hack' as a
workaround.
BTW it would also be useful to have a means to logout from a session -
once logged in with the 'wrong' email address, there is no way to >
relogin with the 'right' email address apart from clearing the session
with browser capabilities.
Yes. One of the woes of using http auth. Why couldn't whoever specified
that have provided a logout mechanism? (Oh, wait, that was maybe us...)
And why haven't the browser manufacturers provide the ability to drop an
ID?
You can always achieve the effect of logging out by appending a dummy
user ID to the URL, to make the browser drop the current ID:
https://dummy at wiki.tools.ietf.org/group/nomcom/09/input
but that's a hack.
On Mozilla Firefox you can also de-authenticate by using the 'clear
recent history'/details/active logins option from tools menu (in the
recent 3.5.3 release .. the menu option is different for older versions
- it is buried in the 'options' tabs).
Regards,
Elwyn
