Bug Description

If I somehow end up logged in to apache openid and on /openid/login, I'm shown the message "You are currently logged in as ... (logout)" and a 'continue' button. The 'continue' button is misleading as it doesn't continue to the location I was originally attempting to access; it instead attempts to log me back in to the /openid/login url even though I'm already logged in. This button should not be present if I'm logged in! There should actually be very few reasons why this page is visible to me when I'm logged in - the only ones I can think of right now are:

 * if apache-openid has forgotten where I wanted to go. This ideally wouldn't happen (it's a bug) and continue won't help me. I'll need to follow the original link again.
 * if I've attempted to access /openid/login directly. This isn't likely to be something the average user would do unless they follow an incorrectly posted link somewhere. It's fine to not present me with any option other than 'logout' in this case.

This issue may have been fixed with our rewritten apache-openid. Assigning to the next release so we can confirm that and (hopefully) close this bug.
