281041 - need a clean proper and easy way to knock off all http/https sessions without going offline

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[timeless]

i just tried transitioning our proxy code into a new world. the new world
includes a certain set of hacks to deal with the fact that pipelined connections
persist for annoyingly long periods of time with credentials that i need flushed.

the suggested workaround for the credentials problem was to go offline. this
worked well enough until i transtioned the proxy code, at which point the act of
going offline *killed* my proxy's server connections (because the socket
transport service shut down).

i need this yesterday but at least for 1.8 :).

tested: mozilla1.8a5 (this code doesn't change, had an interface been made
available, i would have been informed).

is "credentials" == "http basic auth"? (because you can easily log out from that)

and is "pipelined connection" == "keep-alive connection"?

ctrl shift reload clears the pconn pool these days.
