I am trying to implement an authentication/timeout
system whereby the initial login is done by a standard
HTML form (posted). When the session times out and the
user requests a service, the session is "revived" by
custom HTTP Authentication. In this way, a complex set
of frames and multiple windows is not disrupted by a
new window.

The problem is that one a user HTTP Authenticates, the
AUTHORIZATION header value stays until the browser is
closed. Consequently, the user never has to
authenticate again, even when the session times out,
because when the servlet requests authorization, it is
right there in the servlet request.

So my question is, how do I clear or remove the
AUTHORIZATION header item from the client ?

Thanks.

//Nicholas
