New issue 5497 by [email protected]: document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache") not supported http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5497 No facility exists in Javascript to logout from a page protected by HTTP authentication. IE7 provides ClearAuthenticationCache. The problem is described in this thread for the Mozilla web browser: See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287957 There is a workable workaround for Mozilla, but I don't know of one for Chrome or Safari. Chrome Version : 1.0.154.36 Other browsers tested: Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue: Safari 3: FAIL Firefox 3: FAIL IE 7: PASS What steps will reproduce the problem? Create the following web page, and protect it using HTTP authentication, so that a username and password is required. <HTML> <HEAD> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function logmeout() { document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache"); } </script> </HEAD> <BODY> <button onclick="logmeout()" name="Exit">letmeout</button> </BODY> </HTML> In Apache config, I'm using something like: AuthName "protected area" AuthType Basic require valid-user etc. To test: Load the page. Press the logout button. Press reload. What is the expected result? Chrome should re-prompt for username and password. What happens instead? Chrome remembers username and password. Only way to clear it is to close the browser. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
