    Description

      Some browsers give a warning when basic authentication is used on a non SSL connection
      QAuthenticator could have one or more options to allow Qt based applications to make this judgement.

      Either we decide whether it is secure or not and set one option.
      Or we have two options (authentication method and channel security)

      insecure in this context = plaintext or weakly encrypted password on a plaintext channel.
