Roland and Jaya, Thanks for your responses. It turns out that the server that I was posting to doesnt like scraping programs. So it was not giving the final page that I wanted. Once I set the user agent as Mozilla Firefox, it started working. Now I am facing a small issue. Some times it gives the response properly and some other times it doesnt. Instead of giving a 302 response it gives 200. Not sure whats wrong. Any ideas are appreciated.
