You are correct, you don't have to. But it works, as I used it effectively
about 4 years ago when I needed to.

If you are tracking a user's session in a an application sub-directory and
do not wish to clear the session but just log someone out of an application,
the work-around you mentioned fails - the cookie exists still. And we had to
handle that scenario also. Ok, so it's not strictly answering a "how do i
end a session" question, but the spirit "how do i stop someone using someone
else's login/session" still stands.

IIS/IE has never failed to provide the REFERER information so far in my
experience.

I think the way I have suggested is also an OK way to do it. I also think
that the more ideas presented to the list, and the more varied the solutions
presented, the better.
