[Tutor] Firstrade Authentication: Form Management

[Federo]

Kent,

Bellow is the last code I tried. The code open main page however down not open 
main page with server reply for symbol GOOG. I include in code everythig in 
POSTDATA. Other fields seem irelevant. Entire header is attached.

Sorry for being persistent but I DO WANT to master this technology!

Cheers, Ales
