It clears all HTTP authentication that have been made. Then, when a webpage needs an HTTP auth, username and password will be asked again.

See doc about http authentication with SlimerJS.

Introduced: SlimerJS 0.9

exit()

It stops the script and SlimerJS exit.

It accepts an optional exit code. Default is 0.

slimer.exit();

Note: your script may continue to be executed after the call of this method, because of the asynchronous behavior of this function.
