When was this post added to bb-hosts?  I wasn't aware you could do this.
This is good news for many people here!

Typically the way a log out is started is by clicking a link.  Could you
not just wget or curl the URL?

Greetings,

I have successfully configured the "post" http monitor to login to a
website using a form.  However, I don't think this monitor has the ability
to "log out" like Sitescope for example and thus the end application server
ends up with a lot of idle logins and eventually exhausts the connection
limit.  Is there any process to have hobbit do an additional check/post on
the "log off" button after the initial login and content check (if
successful)?

Thanks,
Tom
