I'm trying to use libcurl in D to download a page that requires logging in first. At the moment though, I can't even get the logging in working. I tried with curl.exe, got it working, and used the --libcurl command to export C code that I then turned into (I think) equivalent D code.

The problem is that when I POST the login form, curl.exe gets a HTTP 200 to the correct page, whereas libcurl gets a HTTP 302 back to the login page, which is the same behaviour I noticed when cookies weren't being saved/reused.

I've tried with the HTTP struct functions, and also setting curl options explicitly like the C code does. Is there something I've missed?
