I am trying to make a logout with basic authentication. I am wondering, if there is any possibility to clean client's browser cache via JavaScript? Are there any alternative ways to calling logout webservice?

    Basic Authentication managed by the browser? If so, there is no logout (I think not even with help from the server). – Thilo Sep 10 '12 at 07:31

  • Maybe the hack mentioned here (which can be triggered from JS) works: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4163122/http-basic-authentication-log-out?rq=1 – Thilo Sep 10 '12 at 07:46

That is not possible with JavaScript for security reasons, logout normally would just delete whatever it has created, which is normal behavior.
