The scheme in your URL is "https", which means that the traffic will be encrypted with SSL/TLS. Wireshark captures network traffic at a very low level, so it'll capture the encrypted traffic, not the decrypted plain-text data.
See the Wireshark Wiki page on SSL:
http://wiki.wireshark.org/SSL
for information on how to configure Wireshark to attempt to decrypt the traffic.
