session cookie

[john]

Hi

I am using InternetOpen, InternetConnect, InternetOpenRequest etc to connect to a web service. The WS places a cookie on my machine. After I am done with the webservice how can I get the cookie to delete without shuttong down our app? If I leave the app running and someone else tries to log into the app they can't because the WS sees that a different name from that in the cookie is being used. If I close the app and restart all is well as the cookie has gone. Is there some flag I am missing or API call thaty can be used to 'recycle' the session, so it acts as if the app has been closed down

thank

When the user logs out, be sure to close all your WinInet handles including
the handle created by InternetOpen. Then call:

InternetSetOption(NULL, INTERNET_OPTION_END_BROWSER_SESSION, NULL, 0);

The END_BROWSER_SESSION option will cause WinInet to discard various cached
global data, including all session cookies.
