Bob,
You are correct that browsers keep passing the user/pass with each
request. As for getting the browser to rechallenge, that is very tricky
and would be hacky at best.
I would expect that when Basic authentication is used and the last
request caused Session.logout() to called, the next request (which will
contain a valid user/pass), will effectively log the user in.
Trying to make Basic authentication act exactly like FORM authentication
is probably not realistic as the display of user/pass input screen is
browser dependent. Effectively, the user is silently logging back in
with the next visit. I believe that this still complies with the spec. I
suspect that the real problem may be that the bug submitter's
interpretation of the spec may be a bit inaccurate.

The JSP spec 2.4 gives us Session.logout(), what do we do when using
Basic authentication? Once challenged, the web browser keeps passing
the user/pass (right?) so any ideas about how to get the browser to
re-challenge the end user? (change the domain?)
Cheers,
