Yes, it's not possible to use RT logout button when you use HTTP Basic
auth. Basic/Digest auth algorithms are described in the HTTP standard.
Browser sends credentials with each HTTP request. You can logout only
if your browser support it.

See http://dispatches.azstarnet.com/manual/howto/auth.html#basicfaq

Looks like Mozilla 1.8 alpha 4 can logout
