Description
Two very useful functions are available in the HttpAuthentication module:
Accept - but not force - HTTP authentication on the whole website.
For anonymous users, force HTTP authentication when an Access denied page is shown on configured pages. (This will not work if you use a custom access denied page.)
Any chance of seeing these in securesite soon ?

I don't see how that is the same functionnality : I understand the old functionnality to take whatever is in the Basic Auth headings and use it. If it isn't there... then so be it.
From my understanding what would then happen is:
- if session is active, use it
- if not and basic auth info is there login using those credentials and create a session
- if no basic auth then it all depends on the usual Drupal settings of whether the page is protected or not. If it isn't, display as Anonymous. If it is protected then go to the login page (optinally, display the basic auth stuff)
Are we really talking about the same thing ?

Yes, we're talking about porting functionality from HttpAuth.
