With a persistant connection, BASIC auth can and is being used with challenge response and one time tokens to provide strong authentication. This is being used with persistant proxy connections to auth the client to the proxy. I have seen the problem with clients and servers starting to support persistant connections and the use of proxies (http-gw from the firewall toolkit) that don't understand this. We recently have provided a patch to remove various headers to fix this..
