WARNING : cflogout does not work!!!

cflogin basically challenges the browser for username/password.

e.g.

request page  -> returns 401

browser prompts of username/password and resubmits request with
username/password
        -> server checks auth.
                                good -> allows request
                                bad -> returns 401

browser caches good u/p and sends them with _EVERY_ request

close the browser u/p gets dumped (unless u check remember password for this
domain)

<cflogout tries to get browsers to clear their caches by sending a 401 (i
think), but this is not reliable.
