The method above exposes USERNAME and PASSWORD to anyone who has
access to the machine, which in best case might be undesirable.  I
prefer using a wgetrc instead, e.g.:

$ echo 'http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@URL/receive' > ~/.wgetrc-moblog
$ chmod 0600 ~/.wgetrc-moblog

and then invoke wget like this:

$ wget -qO- -i ~/.wgetrc-moblog

Cheers,
