How to clear back forward list in UIWebview on iPhone?

Question

Hi all,

I want to access/clear the back forward list as if the UIWebView is new again. Is there any public api or workaround to do this?

I've tried

while ([webview canGoback]) {
    [webview goBack];
}

but that will freeze the device (simulator too)

Thanks!

I would imagine you can break the history by manually loading some HTML...

Something like:

[webview loadHTMLString:@"" baseURL:@""];
