Re: how to make Netsurf forget its logged-in state

[Ashish Gupta]

Thanks for explaining the login process. It looks like you make use of
Basic Auth for the login. I think you should be able to destroy the saved
state if you login using another username and password.

Could you try doing this ?
Open this URL, http://username:passw...@yoursite.com in netsurf.

Could you try a couple of cases ?
One, a username password which is valid but different from the saved one.

A different (invalid) username password combo.
I am hoping the invalid combo forces the login window next time (or locks
you out).

Testing on a complex page www.express.co.uk

Build 3242 required 5m 15s
Build 3537 required 8m 28s

At least it looks like it's not imaginary so I will try to narrow
down the version where the change occurs.

It would help if you could elaborate on this login process that your site
relies on . I am also curious to know how a session is maintained as you
mentioned that cookies are not used.

Thanks.

Cookies:  none involved -- it's my own site I'm talking about, and it 
doesn't make any cookies.

Cache: Is there an easy way to clear the Netsurf cache?  Where is it?

>From the web page displayed in Netsurf, menu>Utilities offers Hotlist, 
History and Cookies; no mention of Cache.  The relevant History entry 
can be cleared, but that does not cure my present problem.

Iconbar menu leads to History and to Cookies, but no mention of Cache.

Iconbar Choices includes Cache, but the resulting dialogue does not 
mention clearing it.

If the performance drop came around the time JS builds were enabled for
Atari, try running with JS configured off.
