Yes, there have been cookie parsing bug fixes since then.

Well, those headers didn't contain any set cookies so therefore I asked. If
it returns saying you lack cookies, it means it expected THIS request to pass
on cookies which you apparently didn't. Perhaps you need to get a previous
page first to get an initial set of cookies that is then passed on when you
get this page?
Many sites work that way and when I do things like this, I usally have curl
load the login-form HTML page first, which also makes it behave even more
like a true web browser.
