Even in the subject of the mail you used the word POST. You don't POST by
filling in all the data in the URL. That only makes a GET request, and this
form specificly says POST.

Try POST instead: pass on all the data using -d.

The site uses cookies, so you should probably do too. Also, there's an amount
of javascript in there that might do something weird, I didn't really look
closely enough to see.
