No, Martin really meant "not possible": once basic auth is started,
the browser prompts for username and password and you are in basic-auth
land thereafter; the web server has *no way* to tell the browser to
*stop* using basic auth.

Well, my OpenId is 'david.bitdance.com', so even if you could get around
the basic auth problem, looking for "http://" wouldn't work.
