$r->auth_name($realm) works fine, provided you call
$r->note_basic_auth_failure, rather than
$r->header_out('WWW-Authenticate',...)
$r->auth_type did not become writeable until the patch i posted earlier.

until the recent change where $r->auth_type became writeable, and
get_basic_auth_pw/note_basic_auth_failure default AuthType to Basic if it
is not configured, those methods would segfault.
