Rclone serve http htpasswd

[ink0gnito]

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hello, I have a question about rclone serve http and authorization. I generated a htpasswd, when I start rclone serve I can access the files but without authorization.
Can someone tell me why the htpasswd does not take effect?

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.56.1

• os/version: debian 10.10 (64 bit)
• os/kernel: 4.19.0-17-amd64 (x86_64)
• os/type: linux
• os/arch: amd64
• go/version: go1.16.8
• go/linking: static
• go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone serve http --addr :8080 --htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd gdrive:

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

Paste config here

I generated a htpasswd, when I start rclone serve I can access the files but without authorization.

I think this is a bug as it works if I try with v1.55.1

Can you open a new issue on Github please

It looks like it is only rclone serve http which is broken rclone serve webdav is OK.
