[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-4623) LogoutHandler.java misspells the referer header

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4623?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12687720#comment-12687720 ] 

Jess Sightler commented on AS7-4623:
------------------------------------

Also, this approach of redirecting to a URL with different credentials does not work under Firefox. Firefox ignores the username/password in the Location header, and pops up a auth dialog box.

I believe that IE may face similar issues:

Are there any plans to switch to form based authentication to alleviate this issue?
