  The answer is yes (if SSL) but no (if not SSL) !

  Reading the code neon/src/ne_auth.c (around line 1050),
  the SSPI/Negotiate or SSPI/NTLM or Digest
  or Basic methods are tried whatever the http/https mode.

  BUT the GSSAPI/Negotiate is only tried with SSL ?
  Why ? Is GSSAPI over http less secure than Basic over http ?

  Thank you for your help
