digest_auth logout under 3.0beta

Is there a hook of some sort in place to provide a logout
facility? I
have had a look around in httpauth, but can't see anything.
It would be desirable for users to be able to logout
themselves and for
the server/application to force logouts. Since digest auth
does not
necessarily use sessions I can't see how it would be done.
I suppose that in principle, the timestamp included in the
hash
provides the possibility for some sort of ageing.

There is no such thing sadly. The only way to logout is to
close he
browser so it deletes the digest/basic token it has
temporary stored.

It could have been done if browsers had provided an API to
access the
digest/basic token via Javascript. This is not the case.

We could hack something around this but this could be messy.
