Unable to logout of RT using Opera 7

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Using Opera 7.11 on Windows XP, clicking the “Logout” link on
any of the RT screens briefly flashes a page saying “You
have been logged out of RT” before redisplaying the page I was on.
There appears to be some kind of automatic redirect back to
the page I tried to log out from.

With MSIE 6 and Netscape 7, the logout works as expected - I get back to
the login screen.

Thanks,
Steve

IIRC, opera ignores no-cache headers if you’ve set it to only check
pages for updates once per session.

the login screen.

Opera is overly-agressive caching pages. Find the proper preferences
pane such that opera honors the expiration time of pages. I believe
it has been discussed here before, back for Opera 5…

Thanks - I realized too late this is in TFM which of course
I should have R’d.
