Clear cache and session

[asieverding]

Hey there :)
Is there an option to clear browser cache and session? I would like to use the in app browser to process an OAuth login with Microsoft services, but after a logout I need to clear cache and session. Otherwise the OAuth flow authenticates the same user account without login with mail and password the next time the in app browser is opened.

Some options like clearcache or clearsessioncache for example. Like in the https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser plugin.

hey @riderx has this issue been solved?
do I need to add to the readme after adding the clearcache or clearsessioncache functionality?

[riderx]

Thanks for solving this, the readme is auto update when you update the TS file, just run the build command.
Please also run the lint and verify to be sure all build

[jessmathews]

I ran

npm run lint
npm run build 
npm run verify:web && npm run verify:android

The only errors were /home/user/capacitor-inappbrowser/src/definitions.ts 0:0 error Parsing error: DeprecationError: 'originalKeywordKind' has been deprecated since v5.0.0 and can no longer be used. Use 'identifierToKeywordKind(identifier)' instead
Everything else worked fine.

Can someone provide an example how to use it correctly?
I want to clear the cache of the in app browser completly. The new feature is bound to the clearCookies function and requires an url but even if I enter a url and set the cache option to true, the cache is not deleted.

Is only the cookie cache deleted or also the session cookie cache?
