When logging in, password is transmitted in cleartext

I noticed in a packet capture today that Nexus login information (username & password) is sent over the net unencrypted. I'm sure the Nexus admins are aware of this, but I was just surprised and curious as to why you don't use SSL for logging in, given the obvious security problems associated with shouting your password across the Internet. I know SSL can be a pain to set up, especially for large sites.
