You can use ethereal to capture a session from your code and one from a 
browser to the same site (maybe lynx will make a cleaner capture).  Then 
you can compare the sessions and see what's different.

I could look at the code (I'm curious what it does) but I'm no expert on 
C or C++.  For http, is there a library you can use to do all the 
protocol stuff?  Perl et. al. have that, it's a shame if you have to 
write your own.
