Sorry but ist NOT a good Solution and there should be NO logout Option in
the Browsers.
There is a Reason why theres no default logout Option.
I could explain it here but it would me take far too long.
So the short: For Security Reasons.
Its stop a bunch of attac types which maybe possible if theres an logout.
It also do NOT work in every Browser (or at least it should not)

By the Way the New Webui Option is a good one to solve this issues and
should be enough.

The comfortof users is important, agreed. But from my Point of View the
security and integrity of our Servers is the primary Objective and also in
the deeper interest of your users even if they don't know or like it.

Also adding an third Party Module (or make it as an dependency runs into
various Problems (is it available on other platforms, which license do they
use....) and make setup more complicated.

If someone wanna use some of those technics (the thing I did with config
/header combination is pretty similar to the module you mentioned but just
for a test) they can do it and adding a link into the webui isn't a big deal

So you could do it for you custom setup by your own but im really not a fan
of adding into dspam by default.

Httpauth is an standard for good reason and we should not support changing
standards:-)

We use mod_auth_pubtkt and made a log-out link that takes you to its logout
page. Adding the link is easy, and using mod_auth_pubtkt was
straightforward to set up, and lets you design the login page in PHP

It's a good solution, since logout from HTTP auth should really be a
browser feature (why there's no logout button on the toolbar for sites that
are logged in is beyond me...)
