Re: cURL - Error 400

Hi, Sorry, that didn't work. The website is still returning error 400 with CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION and CURLOPT_COOKIE enabled. I did some experimentation in Firefox by blocking and deleting all cookies from the site. When I then visited the site, I was able to reach the logon page without returning error 400 so I doubt it's cookies that is the problem. I also tried changing the HTTP headers to: Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Which didn't work either.
