in reply to How do I reset http authentication w/o a browser shutdown?

Like crazyinsomniac said - send a status 401 and the browser will prompt the user for a password.

Be aware that HTTP authentication basically sends a plaintext password. If it's not a HTTPS connection, your users' passwords are open for anyone who wants to pick them.
