Hello and thank you for contributing!

Honestly, I don't think what you described is a buggy behavior.

BasicAuth is not in charge of the actual authentication (it delegates it) and therefore the behavior you desire should not be implemented inside BasicAuth but in the underlying authentication mechanism.
