Hi Alex, Your code looks fine. This may be due to a behavior from Firefox in order to prevent multiple executions of the non-idempotent POST method. I think this would work as you expect with a GET.
Maybe you should consider pre-authenticating before submitting via POST? Did you try with another HTTP client, like with Curl or with a Restlet client?
