That won't work. The --username/--password arguments just make basic
auth credentials available *if* the server issues as challenge.
There's no way for the client to "push" credentials at the server.
It's strictly a server-pull system.

So the only solution is to make httpd.conf issue an authn challenge
for write operations. Otherwise, the apache just treats all accesses
(both read and write) as anonymous access, and thus no username.

This is a pretty common question; it would be great if someone could
add this to www/project_faq.html (orsubmit a patch).
