Re: HTTP authentication : logout!!!

It dont work, what you have to do is that: In the logout.php: -------------- <? header( 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"'); header( 'HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized' ); ?> <html><body> Logout Sucessful </body></html> -------------- And you have to inform the user to clean the password field, click ok, then the pop-up will open again, then user click in cancel. I just know that way to do.
