This clearly shows that it sends a POST fine with the data you told it to
send.

Use a tool like livehttpheaders to show what data your regular browser sends
when you do this manually, and then make sure curl sends something that is
very similar to that.

-F should be used if the form says multipart, but that isn't common for
"plain" login forms. It may very well be cookie-related or the server might
even check basic things like user-agent or referer.
