You are probably lost in the middle of the application that manages the
security of this website. your best bet is to use some tool like : "
http://www.ieinspector.com/httpanalyzer/" to see whats really happening
under the hood, which page gives cookie & which one expects it , and more
importantly which script handles your posted data.
If i uderstood well, when you request the url without posting anything it
redirects you. but when you post something it does not, & your program
looses its logic because redirect count stays at 0. Well, I guess you will
only have to change this logic (because it is not working) ... to something
like parsing the page & identifying it by its content (like
<title>xxxx</title>).
