Comment:

 This can be achieved by giving the complete HTTP request to the probe.
 Look at the .request attribute on the page https://www.varnish-
 cache.org/docs/3.0/reference/vcl.html#backend-probes and more thoroughly
 explained here https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/BackendPolling

 You will then add a Auth-header with the prepared combined username and
 password Base64 -encoded. Look up HTTP basic auth.

 Note that this is not a bug in Varnish, and the varnish-misc mailing list
 or the #varnish IRC channel is the place to get help configuring your
 setup.
