This is a "feature" of the browsers. I have spent many
hours trying to find out whether there is a way to force the
log-on dialog to come up but to no avail. Browser just
remembers what you have put in last time and sends that
information automatically when you ask for it from servlet.
The only way to force it is to restart Netscape.
Check:
http://help.netscape.com/kb/client/980409-1.html and
http://help.netscape.com/kb/client/970430-10.html
If anyone knows how to do it I would like to know.
