Hi there,

The auth_basic directive is a part of http_auth_basic module, [2] so it's
not related to a stream modules family.

The proxy_ssl directive is off by default, [2], can be safely removed.

Other directives should work well.  Here's the list of questions:
1. how did you test it?
2. have you checked nginx log files?
3. in case of 400 error, that seems like a web-server (not nginx) replied
   with that error, any chance to check log files on that side?
