[hobbit] Question regarding logins and content checks

[Ralph Mitchell]

If you're using the bb-hosts "post", I think you'd have to do a second post,
or possibly a "cont" check on the logout url.  I don't know if cookies would
be transferred from one check to the next, which might be a problem.  I
think you'd also get another column in the output.
I almost always used external scripts to do a substantial number of web site
checks, so I would simply insert an extra step to do the logout.  I
generally reported yellow if the logout failed...
