Is this possible? Not using basic authentication. There is no concept of expiration in basic_auth. The browser sends the credentials with every subsequent request in the same realm. The only way to "expire" the browser is to shut it down. On the server side, you only ever get a request with or without an Authorization header. If it's with a valid auth header, you serve the content. The only way to expire logins is with session management (ie, cookies).
