Nice work, Scott!

One small comment: "Three lines of Bro's scripting language and we can
detect a server using Basic Access Authentication!"

It's actually just one line [1]:

    redef HTTP::default_capture_password = T;

This automatically creates a new column password in the http.log with
the password value, if available.

Keep the posts coming!
