I have noticed the same thing. It seems that even if you are asked for
a password (stored in /etc/mythtv/mythweb-digest) the mythweb
configuration doesn't enable authentication at all.
You can check for yourself in
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf /which is a link to
/etc/apache2/sites-available/mythweb.conf ).
Even more confusing, there is a .htaccess in
/usr/share/mythtv/mythweb which is a link to
/etc/mythtv/mythweb-htaccess (non-existing)
So I'm not really sure how the setup should be.
Anyway, after I enabled authentication in mythweb.conf and restarted
apache, it works.
