Well, I had cleared the cache, memory and disk, just to be sure. No effect. After exiting the browser for a bit, it seems to have resolved itsself. Apparently the infamous netscape secret cache had struck. it appears to me that The server was asking for authentication, and the browser was returning something the server was unhappy anout, so it challenged the browser again ... and again.

So does this mean the problem has gone away?

Which reminds me ... it would be nice if I could set some sort of time limit on authorizations, or a way to log out of the management screens. Quite annoying to have to kill the browser to log in as another user (for verification, etc.), or to make sure no-one else is able to get in. Is there somewhere this can be done that I am missing?

Yes, it would be nice. Perhaps the 'perfect browser' could offer that as a feature. :) It's handy to have a document called 'logout' in the root folder with the following DTML: <!--#raise Unauthorized--> This will allow you to log in as another user, it's still a bit of a kludge because it tries to access logout again (which raises another unauthorized) so you have to first hit cancel, and then try for another page manually. A few seconds faster than closing the browser and starting new one. -Michel
