3.0 Safari Geolocation Permission: Change after Set?

[geocentric]

The new version of safari allows javsacript based access to the GPS
for the first time (yippee!) The test code, which I found online, is
here:

http://m.yourhere.com/test

So first you get a system message ("http://m.yourhere.com" Would Like
To Use Your Current Location" Don't Allow / OK)

My issue is that if you "Don't Allow" once, you never get the chance
to change your mind. I have tried:
1. iPhone Cold Restart
2. Settings: Safari: Delete Cache, Cookies, etc.

The only thing I can find to work is to change the domain itself to a
subdomain of the domain (like website.com vs. www.website.com) which
counts as a new domain for permissions.

Any idea how a user would change/delete safari location permissions
after the initial set? It appears you can't change your mind.

My geolocation test page is :-) http://jorgechamorro.com/cljs/062/

BTW, FireFox 3.5b also has the geoLocation API.

Thanks for your reply! I tried it but it did not seem to work.

It looks to me that resetting Location Warnings in General Settings is
application by application (Safari vs. installed app) and not web domain
by web domain within Safari?

I have the exact same question. I was testing geolocation error
handling and said 'no' for my site, now it keeps thinking 'no' even
though I cleared cache etc. Anybody figure this one out?

thanks

(Actually, 'reset location warnings' under general settings did the
trick... so nevermind :)

Anybody figure out how to reset permissions for a domain?
