Re: HTTP authentication

Are you doing authentication using sessions?  Are you using timestamps in a
database? Are you using http-auth? etc.

There are several ways to do authentication and if you want to do a "logout"
button, the code would need to clear whatever is holding references to that
login... hence you need to say how you are doing authentication so you know
what needs to be cleaned up with a log out code.
