username/password via URL over SSL secure?

[Mark W. Breneman]

Can anyone confirm that sending a username / password in the form of
<https://bob:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/> https://bob:[EMAIL PROTECTED] is secure
and not passed via plain text.

I fired up Ethereal and it looks like the username and password are not
passed in the clear.

I am no expert with the packet capturing. Well, not yet anyway :-)
