Inspired by Jim Washington's recent post re 'Anonymous user', I was reminded of a previous post in which someone suggested http://garbage:xxxxx@yourSite would also clear the browser's credential. Much faster and works in IE and Konqueror, but not Navigator or lynx. Very easy to test, too. first, http://yourSite/manage and login then http://garbage:xxxxx/yourSite/debug and check other/AUTHENTICATED_USER On Tue, 19 Dec 2000, Bill Welch wrote:
Not true, depends on the browser. My tests indicate that Navigator and IE both trash the existing good credential with the garbage one and you're really logged out. Konqueror and lynx seem to hang on to the last successful authentication and this method doesn't log you out.
