Thanks for the quick responses, everyone!

After spending some time studying the headers, I discovered Dan had
been correct the first time. I needed to switch to --data AND I needed
to turn cookies on. (I had previously discounted cookies because I
THOUGHT I had successfully connected with my browser with cookies
blocked, but I can't reproduce that result, so I must have forgotten
to delete a pre-existing cookie or something.)

Thanks again for the help.
