The username/password feature is a generic http protocol command and not
exclusively part of the secure side. As well. there is only a single part
of the protol - username required.
That said, you musr realize that you log into the server and out with
every connection. The browser caches the user id and password and makes it
seemless to you. Therefore the logout button would have to be part of
browser functionality and it is not. You can do it by
messing around with theprotocol message back to the client, but it just
forces them to log in again, so a very good logout IMO.
