Yes. After that, it get's stored in a cookie (sorry, forgot to post that 
part).

Yes, it recognizes that I am authorized to load the page. Try doing that 
without logging in, you'll get an error.
So, the cookie stuff seems to work... the problem is that the CGI doesn't 
seem to recognize or accept my input, but acts as if there was no input 
at all. Hence my suspicion that I don't handle the POST request 
correctly. I've tried adding the login data to the request, but that 
doesn't change anything.
