Whenever you POST to a web page, you also download the results of that post.
It sounds like your adding of the login info to the request causes the site to
authenticate you and delivers more data in response to your POST than
you would get otherwise. That's what I would expect to happen.

Just the way you've done. Depending on how the site handles authentication,
you might have to specify the authentication method. This assumes that the
site doesn't actually require an SSL certificate instead of using an HTTP
authentication method.
