I'd like to have a go at implementing Auth expiry.
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55181

The Zope folks particularly would find this useful.

The fine-grained-ness of the implementation will depend on how complex 
it is to implement. The simple version would be a menu item which called 
ClearAll() on the nsHTTPAuthCache - which I assume is a singleton.

A more complex version might, in response to about:logins , present a 
list of all the different sorts of auth (HTTP, FTP etc.) with little 
login buttons, and allow links of the form 
about:logins?op=logout&domain=foo.com&realm=bar to be clicked in the 
browser window.

So, what I'm after is pointers to documentation - on our code in this 
area and on HTTP basic auth - and 30-second brain dump implementation 
ideas from the Necko crew.

Why is the nsHTTPAuthCache not scriptable, by the way?
