It is indeed working now. 

I can't see any reference on the wiki
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#URL_.2B_authentication to
the deprecation of Basic Auth on the API. Personally I am happy with
Basic over HTTPS for the moment. As I said this is a private program and
I do not currently intend to publish it to a wider audience. If that
changes then I agree, OAuth would be the way to go.
