Only because this is Mark, i won't mark as WONTFIX. Patches are always
welcome :).
This can't really be done cleanly, since the Manager webapp uses BASIC auth.
There is no way that I know of to tell the browser to stop sending the
credentials with each request. As a result, there is no way for the webapp to
know that the user hasn't logged back in. This is largely why the "logoff"
feature was dropped from the servlet spec.
I haven't tested it, but a really dirty hack might be to send a 401 response
to the logoff, and count on the user to hit the cancel button.

--- Comment #2 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> 2008-02-27 08:59:23 ---
A couple of options are:
1) Display a page that tells the user to close the browser.
2) Close the browser
3) A variation of http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TrueHttpLogoutPatch
4) Display a page that tells the user to close the browser to be 100% but tries
the ideas in 3 anyway.
I like 2 along with a short warning near the ogout button the closing the
browser is the only guaranteed way to logoff. Simple and known to work.
I might look at this in the next several weeks.
