hi, i would suggest you take a closer look on the "way" the login
goes...maybe there're several pages between the first page of this site
and the first page after the successfull login. maybe on this pages in
between severall cookies are set.
if you use a mozilla browser you can download a nice extension called
"live header" and with this you can see what way your login goes. and
with this information you have to reproduce the correct login.
