The problem here is possibly that you are storing the cookies in some
different random file each time.

The application may be using those cookies to track users, and require
a 2-stage operation -- So you may need to visit a different page first
to get a valid Cookie, and THEN use those cookies as part of this
request to get what you want.

Try storing the cookies in the same file/jar all the time, and also
see if you can close your browser, surf DIRECTLY to the URL, and have
it work or not.

I want you to buy a CD from some indie artist.
