google chrome - Webkit based browsers on Mac refuse to load certain websites or resources, other browsers work fine from the same machine

    OK, this one has really been puzzling me.

    Certain websites (such as instapaper.com ) or certain resources (such as the CSS and images for icanhazcheezeburger.com sites) refuse to load at all in Safari or Chrome on any of my Mac machines. Rebooting the machine doesn't fix it.

    If I use another browser, such as Firefox or a browser on my iPhone or in my Windows virtual machine, the pages load just fine.

    When the whole page errors out, Safari displays an error:

    "WebKit encountered an internal error" WebKitErrorDomain:300
    

    This is all from within my home network. Any ideas what could possibly be causing such bizarre behavior?

    How to delete specific HTTP authentication credentials from Safari (for Windows)?
  • Daan

    I use Safari on a Windows XP machine at work. To access the corporate intranet website, Safari asks me the first time to enter my credentials, using a default HTTP(?) authentication dialog box. On subsequent visits, Safari logs me in automatically.

    However, now that I have changed my password, Safari no longer displays the page, keeps trying to load it with the old password, and eventually displays an authentication error page.

    Is there any way to clear the stored credentials for that specific website only? I can of course reset Safari entirely, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

    Manage Your Passwords

    Step 1: Go to the 'AutoFill' section in the Safari Preferences window.

    Step 2: Click on the 'Edit' button to the right of where it says 'User Names and Passwords.' This will bring up a window displaying all of the passwords and usernames that you have authorized Safari to save.

    Step 3: Click on a password listing and push the 'Remove' button in order to delete the password from Safari's memory.

    Step 4: Choose 'Remove All' in order to delete all of the saved passwords.

    Step 5: Manage your passwords as you see fit.

    This reminds me that I can temporary change my auth credential in Chrome by using Incognito mode (private browsing). -- FYI

    You should be able to make Safari prompt for credentials again by explicitly specifying wrong credentials:

    http://foo:bar@yourintranetserver/
    

    This assuming your actual user and password aren't actually "foo" and "bar".

    You can save it as bookmark calling it "reset intranet credentials".
