Is there any way to make a 401 count as a successful check?

I have some HTTP services that require Basic Auth, so without it the result is a 401 - which I want to count as a success. Is there a way of doing this with a custom script?

you can use header, i think its will be cool

I'd rather not have to duplicate info about my passwords anywhere else. The 401 should be a success, because it's what signals that my app is working properly.
