APEX Listener Administration not really context-sensitive

Question

Hello APEX Listener Development Team,
in {thread:id=2297381} a problem regarding the APEX Listener Administration has been discovered:
Once logged in, e.g. into the view to be accessed by +/apex/listenerStatus+ with correct credentials, it doesn't matter which other view I call (tried both listenerAdmin and listenerConfigure ), I'll always get back to the view for listenerStatus . This even happens when I explicitly hit the "Close" button of the listenerStatus . I'd expect the following behaviour:
1. When calling a different context (view), there should be a different Authentication Realm so the credentials supplied in the other context don't get resubmitted by the browser.
2. When using the "Close" button, the Authentication should be reset. I know this might be difficult regarding different treatment of Basic Authentication in different browsers, but perhaps it would be possible to add a kind of session state into the authentication realm, so the browser would re-run the dialog for a different session.
If further information is needed, I'll be glad to provide any help I can. If I have a wrong sight on this, please correct me.
Thanks,
-Udo
P.S.: Of course, I'll have to make my report complete:
APEX Listener 1.1.3 in Standalone Mode on JDK 1.6.0_27 using Firefox 3.6

Kris,
     Yes it will use localhost based on what machine you are using.  So, you can either put in the real machine name or IP or just ignore the validation.
