Yes, but then this is hardly a step closer, is it?

And a suggestion: the headers are line-oriented. When you show them all
messed up in one huge chunk they're very hard to read and understand. It is a
lot better and easier to read if you make sure to maintain the linefeeds
properly.

Let me guess: when you login with a bad user name, it puts you back to the
orignal login page? And when doing so, it gives you a set of cookies it
requires when you login using the proper name. But, if you only login using
your proper name and password, it considers the login OK but fails anyway
since you don't pass along any cookies.

I may of course be completely wrong.
