Basic Authentication programmatically

I need to lock down a wcf service with basic authentication and SSL. However it is on shared hosting who won't enable it for me. Is there a way of mimicing basic authentication in code with just code that would likely work in a shared environment? I want SharePoint Online to read this wcf service and apparently it presents credentials as basic.

You probably will not be able to get this done with your shared hosting service. SSL requires a registered domain name to associate with the keys. Your hosting service should offer a dedicated site with SSL, shop around for the best price.
