Basic auth handler re-encodes each time

Any reason why BasicAuthSecurityHandler needs to re-encode the user:pass each time instead of just caching the result of getEncodedString() ?

Should probably also have a nice constructor like:

    public BasicAuthSecurityHandler(final String username, final String password) {
        setUserName(username);
        setPassword(password);
    }

Somewhat related, why is AbstractAuthSecurityHandler.getEncodedString() static?
