There's a clumsy way which should(!) work: Configure a special directory
like /relogin with an .htaccess and "require valid-user" in it, but with
an empty htpasswd file. The AuthName needs to match.

Then point your browser to this directory. It get's an authentication
failed and should(!) now forget your old login/password. (You can always
enter something random to make sure). That's the only way close to
"logout", I'm aware of.

This might or might not work - pure theory, I didn't try.

Bye,

Tino.
