It took me quite a while to find it but apparently the browser send always
a full URL as the referer.
So the referer will be in my case:
https://www.mcb-ib.co.mu/ib/accinfo.nsf/OnlineBalance?Openagent
rather then just the host.
I can't explain how it work so nicely beforehand , however I guess a small
change in the documentation will
help the Curl users down the road.
