You have to find out what it does in the browser using Firebug or
other tools that will let you see the headers and data. Perhaps there
is another cookie (Django authentication sends a cookie with the login
form). Perhaps there is some other header that must be set. Look for
other cookies and try setting the User-Agent header to match what the
browser sends, or just match all the headers.
