Here is how zoneedit gets updated with wget:

wget -O - --http-user=username --http-passwd=password
'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=www.mydomain.com'

wget is not "encrypting" the username and password, it is encoding it.
If you can figure out how to sniff it, then you can figure out how to
decode it ( for perl users see MIME::Base64 ).
To be secure, these websites should be using https.

ZoneEdit does allow you to use https.
