Since HTTP is a connection-less protocol, there is no way the server will be
informed that the browser is no longer running. As far as the server is
concerned, the browser IS NOT running until the next request comes!
The only way you can do what you want to do is by implementing something on the
client
You could either have a JavaScript onUnload event handler , or have an
[invisible] applet that only implements the destroy() method, to notify the
server.
