I am using basic authentication using an embedded web server (not IIS)
and noticed a problem (bug?) with microsoft IE 6.0. Here are the steps
I did:
 1) when the authentication window pops up, log in using user name and
    password.

 2) Let the session expire (Using my code in the web server).

 3) Same authentication window pops up when I click on a link

 4) This time, click cancel or even kill the popup window

 5) click on a link

Using debug statements, I noticed that browser is sending username and
password!

Netscape and firebox correctly clears the cache when I click on the
cancel button (on the popup window).

Is there a work around for this problem or Should I develop my own
login/logout
pages?

Thanks
Siva
