- run Snippet128
- navigate to an eclipse bug
- give name+password to log in
    - ensure that it shows you as being logged in
- close the snippet
- run Snippet128 again
- navigate to an eclipse bug
    - note that you are no longer logged in
    - this should have persisted across the sessions

Leo, 
Can you please check this with webkit2?

I tested on Linux/Cocoa. It is indeed the case that you have to re-authenticate.

From what I gather, the SWT browser doesn't support persistent sessions. (Is there documentation that suggests otherwise?).

Is there a use-case that would require persistent sessions?
