It allows me to authenticate, however sometimes it is HTTP and other
times it is HTTPS.

Is this in a vhost? I would think you'd be better off putting all of this into a <Directory> in a config file, not a .htwhatever file if you can swing that. Anyway, the following worked a tiny bit bit better for me than the things you had:

# NOTE:  You'll have to alter the paths for your setup
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/folder>
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://crow202.org/folder/$1 [R=301,L]

AuthUserFile /var/www/localhost/htdocs/folder/.htpassword
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Log in Please"
Require user testuser
</Directory>
# end config file fragment

...you can see what this does if you go to http://crow202.org/folder/ (username testuser , password testpass). It might have flaws or problems that I don't know about, since I have no idea about the rest of your apache setup. AFAICT, though, it gets rid of the "I have to log in via HTTP-Auth Basic twice, once over 80, once over 443" problem.
