This makes HTTP Basic Authentication work on php5-cgi installs (php5_module automatically handles this, but cgi/fcgi module does not)

Don't think its anything to do with Silverstripe. Its your webserver conf and how php is installed. You should check your phpinfo to find out more.

Hope that helps.
