The htdig indexer supports the Basic HTTP authentication method. It does
not fill in forms, or recognize Digest authentication (which AFAIK, is the
only other recognized protocol).
I don't know what you mean by "asking." The HTTP protocol roughly implies
that a request to a password-protected area will fail. In web browsers,
they will then put up the authentication box and start sending the
authentication with HTTP requests. The only difference in htdig is that it
sends the authentication for all requests even before a request fails.
