[Casey Duncan]

It raises the 'Unauthorized' exception. This does not work with all brows=
ers=20
(IE in particular) and is not very user friendly because it pops up the=20
authentication window, which must be cancelled in order to actually log o=
ut.

You can however do it if you like. Calling it log out is a bit of a stret=
ch=20
IMHO.

In a python script:

raise 'Unauthorized'
