	I think you're getting the disk cache confused with Netscape's
	authentication.  Your demonstration page will not work
	correctly if you flush the disk cache before attempting it.

I'll ditto this.  I've been attempting to reproduce this for the last
hour or so and have not been able to find a cached password under any
of the .netscape* directories.
