The options are -s, -b and -c. Using -s a second time only disables it. Thus
your -s options here have no effect.

And when you POST this with your browser, it sends nothing but that single id?

The server considers something in your post to be wrong and thus tries to
provide a helpful error message to you. We can't know what detail. A POST
field? A cookie? A HTTP header being in the wrong order? It can be anything
the server program's author has decided.

The solution? Mimic a browser more closely. Run a manual post with
LiveHTTPHeaders and then make sure you run curl with command lines that
provide as similar requests as possible.
