Yes, I figured that one out, and actually committed a comment about it to

I tried both mgd_auth_midgard("","",1) and mgd_auth_midgard("=","",1), but
both did not give the desired result. I fixed this by sending a Set-Cookie:
header in which I reset the expiration date to a date in the past. This gave
me the desired results. Since I had to read the source to find out how the
cookie is set (Netscape is very precise about receiving the exact cookie
information), it may be a good idea to add a function that does the same,
mgd_auth_midgard_delete(void); . Also, I noticed that mgd_auth_midgard
doesn't send the domain with the cookie. I may be wrong, but I think this
could cause problems if I have www.blah.com in sitegroup 1 and
www.blah.com/sub
in sitegroup 2, because the path is set to '/' .
