Hi, I have I problem submitting a form. The page code is this:

<html>

<head>

<title>

S4ID IS

</title>

</head>

<body>

<h5>Vartotojo vardas</h5>

<h5>SlaptaÅ¾odis</h5>

</div>

</form>

</body>

</html>

The curl command that have used: curl -d
"username=XXXX&password=XXXX&press=Tvirtinti" -L www.s4idis.lt

After this command I get only the upper html code and I’m not being
redirected to home page. The POST data is correct (I have checked it with
firefox web sniffer).

When using web browser and submitting that form I see that there are two
data transfers being made: POST and GET.

I’ve also tried to add Referer and user Agent data, but get the same html
submit form filled with my POST data and not being redirected to home page.
What should I do? Is it a problem with cURL or with the web page? The web
page is created by me so I can easily change the code if needed. Please,
help me!
