You must have misunderstood my message: This is EXACTLY what the owner is 
concerned about. Encrypting the content is not as important as preventing 
unfettered future access via a password stolen by sniffing either the
network or the keyboard. Thus, SSL -- while it might be nice -- is optional. 
What's needed is one-time passwords for "basic" authentication in Apache.
