My experience with htmldoc is that it does work for non-anonymous
HTML documents, provided that either (1) there are no images in the
document, or (2) any images in the document are visible to anonymous and
the image 'src' attributes specify the absolute URL of the image. I
strongly suspect that this is because the HTML is handed directly to the
htmldoc tool, and then htmldoc tries to access the images from you server.
It can't log in, hence the images must be anonymous.
