authentication problem, qtbc password cached?



Hi there,

I am using Quicktime Broadcaster 1.5.2 (152) on OSX 10.5.2 and Darwin 
Streaming Server 5.5.5 (Build 489.16) on Debian 3.1 Sarge. I have an
issue with the authorisation. QTBC seems to cache username and password, 
even when I change it.

I am able to reproduce this when I log in to the web interface of the 
DSS on port 1220, then select "General Settings" in left menu, then 
"Change Movie Broadcast Password...", deselect "Allow unrestricted 
broadcasting", provide a username and a password and select "Change 
Password". On the server a qtaccess file is created with content as 
expected. 

Now I can start broadcasting using QTBC when I have provided the 
username and password (the ones I just specified in the DSS web-
interface) in the corresponding fields in the "Network" tab. When I 
"Stop", then change the username to a non-existent user and try to 
broadcast again, it simply works. In the logfile I can see QTBC wasn't 
using the newly set (non-exist) username, but it is using the previous 
valid username.

When I quit QTBC, restart it, the username field contains the non- 
existent username. When I start broadcasting, it asks me for a new 
username and password (as appareantly the old one wasn't accepted). 

Why isn't this happening immediately when I have changed the username?
