That often happens because the server assumes that when you POST something,
you do that from a page with a <form> and that page (or another one) already
set a cookie that your request doesn't contain.

This is often fixed by you first retrieving the <form> page and storing the
cookies from that, and then you do the POST.

All this and more will be revealed if you track what your browser does, using
a plugin like LiveHTTPHeaders or similar.
