Cache clear is not working if the site uses HTTP Auth

We often use http authentication to protect our development- and staging-environments from being visited by unauthorised users or bots. After installing apc module we get an error when clearing cache with drush:

$ drush cc all
'all' cache was cleared.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       [success]
xmlrpc() error: (401) Unauthorized

Should this be fixed in apc module to allow authentication or do we need to fix that on server level by allowing requests from the same machine?

    Under the hood, drupal_http_request() is used to send the requests to clear the site cache. If drupal_http_request() has an $options value that helps with that, it can be done. Otherwise, the alternative is allowing those requests that come from the same server.

    It is possible to pass credentials to drupal_http_request(). Since the credentials should be written on the settings.php file, they should not be written as plain text.

    The Drush support code has been removed. It could eventually be re-added, but it will be implemented differently.
