HTTP is a stateless protocol and the normal HTTP process flow doesn't give you any way to detect this sort of thing. If the user does this:
* hits your page * switches to another page on another site * hits "back" to get back to your page your server sees: * a request for your page * (some time later) another identical request for your page You do not see that the user went to a third-party page in-between. In other words, there is no message sent from the client when it "leaves" your page; all you get are the requests when a client "arrives". Having said that, you might be able to workaround it with some javascript; send a "logout" request to your server that is fired by the onunload handler. However, that is nothing to do with apache and is a subject for a javascript forum.

I'm not sure if this is something that apache could control. Can you offer any assistance with this or direct me to some info that could help? Thanks. Regards, Thomas J.
