Sending passsword in plain text over network?

[AbelMacAdam <ab...@gmail.com>]

Hi, 

In this piece of code, is username and password send as clear text over the
Internet/Network? And if so, could you suggest me an alternative? 
[code]
	client = new HttpClient();
	Credentials defaultCredentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials (uname,
pword.toString());
	client.getState().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, defaultCredentials);
	client.getState().setCredentials(new AuthScope(host, port,
AuthScope.ANY_REALM), defaultCredentials);
[/code]

Abel
