Otherwise the user stays logged in, in spite of the HTTP spec. > Admittedly I'm running IE5.01, but if I close and reopen the browser it will pop up the authentication dialogue again (with values filled out, if I did Save Password). Does this really not happen in 5.5? > > This is how I will wind up going, EXCEPT the users will be required to click "logout", since merely closing the browser, in IE5.5, does not seem to clear the user/password from the browser's memory, NOR does it clear any session cookie. Again, works fine in other browsers, per spec. > You mean it doesn't clear per-session cookies (expiry=0) either? Cripes... What Windows version is this under?
