As always, we are late. Release candidate v4.5.2 should be available at the end of this week. Official release one week later. Excerpts of changes.html --- * Added a "Clear cached passwords" button to the "Cached data" preferences sheet. Clicking this button is mainly useful as a workaround for the following problem: when opening a document stored on a server requiring user authentication (e.g. a WebDAV server), a user who typed an incorrect username or password is never prompted again for her/his credentials. * Another workaround for the above problem, this time transparent for the user of XXE, is to specify system property XXE_CONFIRM_CREDENTIALS_DELAY. Example: -DXXE_CONFIRM_CREDENTIALS_DELAY=1000, means wait for at least 1000 milliseconds before considering that the credentials specified by the user have been accepted by the server. When system property XXE_CONFIRM_CREDENTIALS_DELAY has been specified to an appropriate number of milliseconds, a user who typed an incorrect username or password is automatically prompted again for her/his credentials. However, this workaround, based on a heuristic, may be tricky to configure and may be not usable for some protocols. For example, it seems to work for HTTP and it gets in the way for FTP. --- The API corresponding to "Clear cached passwords" is: com.xmlmind.netutil.AuthenticatorList.clearCredentials()
