How would one do this for a web site that requires a login and password? Could that be included in the script?

Simply copying the URL of the radio and using Advanced Control button of recording does the same job.

@Floyd: If it supports bacis auth you can put your username and password in front of the URL like this: http://username:password@website.com
And if it doesn’t, there probably is another mechanism to do it. di.fm for example, uses a simple hash string (url?some-ugly-hash-string) to identify everyone. Ask them.
