Chances are the web site is using hidden form values or cookies as a way to
maintain state between forms. Make sure you're taking both into
consideration. There might even be some funky Javascript involved, too, which
you'd need to reverse engineer. Compare the output of curl --trace-ascii
with the output of a web browser (e.g. using LiveHTTPHeaders in Firefox) to
make sure they both look the same.
