    Basic authentication is not limited to HTTP. The term "basic authentication" has been used to describe clear text name and password authentication of just about anything since long before HTTP even existed. Oct 18, 2012 at 21:05

  • I don't feel the need to provide a reference for what is, or at least should be, common knowledge. I realise you're only young but even so you must have come across the term before without it referring to HTTP. Oct 19, 2012 at 9:30
