I just ran ps while mythfilldatabase was running and captured
the wget command.  For me, it was something like:

wget --http-user='myusername' --http-passwd='mypasswd' --post-file=/tmp/zot  --header='Accept-Encoding:gzip' http://datadirect.webservices.zap2it.com/tvlistings/xtvdService --output-document=- | gzip -df

I got the post file by suspending mythfilldatabase and hard-linking
to the file that it was using, so that it did not get deleted.
My post file looks like:
