Hi All

I'm trying to write a program that will log into my account on www.vyke.com and send an SMS. I have used HttpWatch in IE to determine the following request response pattern that WORKS:

Code:

so far so good; it sent me the same login form it sent to IE
but when i "fill in" my details and submit the post data:

I get this "quite empty" response:

So.. Can anyone see anything I messed up in my posting of the login details?

Heck, even if I take the POST data out of HTTPWatch (which works) and stick it on a url in IE and submit it as a GET, i get the html fragment for the login page:

Code:

https://www.vyke.com/index.jsf?AJAXREQUEST=_viewRoot&topMenuForm=topMenuForm&autoScroll=&javax.faces.ViewState=j_id56452&topMenuForm%3AopenLoginForm=topMenuForm%3AopenLoginForm&

But appending the login post data just realises the same "empty" response
