Maybe, not sure.

However, in order to check for HTTP authenticated connections, the
headers look something like:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: http://login.example.com
Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=

...so you'll probably need to change that to match for "Authorization"
instead, to not cache these documents.
