Can I use "HTTP authorization" in HTTPS protocol?

Question

Can I Use HTTP authorization in HTTPS protocol?

I mean I will use following code in PHP.

header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Admin authorization\"");
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");

and

echo $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"];
echo $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_PW"];

@arkascha Because I don't have SSL now. I'm just developer, and I can not access to the server. — YouHoGeon, Jun 24 '16 at 15:09
Then setup a local http server and use a self signed certificate. Takes about 5 minutes and you learn a lot. — arkascha, Jun 24 '16 at 15:09
@arkascha Takes about 5 minutes if you know how. But yes, you learn a lot by learning how to make one work. — apokryfos, Jun 24 '16 at 15:12

Yes. HTTP is HTTP even if you put it through a secure tunnel.
