Hello there! I'm building a app to get some contents from a remote
site that has authentication (it uses struts, and its just a simple
auth).
Well, here's what I'm doing:

private boolean authenticate(){
                String url = "http://acme.com/login.do";;
                HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
                PostMethod post = new PostMethod(url);
                NameValuePair[] data = { new
NameValuePair("email","[EMAIL PROTECTED]"), new
NameValuePair("password","123456")};
                post.setRequestBody(data);
                try {
                        client.executeMethod(post);
                        this.cookies = client.getState().getCookies();
                        for(Cookie cookie : cookies){
                                System.out.println(cookie.toExternalForm());
                        }
                } catch (HttpException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }finally{
                        post.releaseConnection();
                }
                return (this.cookies != null && this.cookies.length > 0);
        }

Well ok, the JSESSIONID cookie is fetched, no problem at all. So i try
to access a forbiden page:

boolean authenticated = authenticate();
                
                if(authenticated){
                        HttpState state = new HttpState();
                        state.addCookies(cookies);
                        HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
                        client.setState(state);
                        
client.getParams().setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.RFC_2109);
                        GetMethod method = new GetMethod();
                        method.setURI(new URI(url,true));
                        client.executeMethod(method);
                        String contents =
method.getResponseBodyAsString();                               
method.releaseConnection();
                }

Well, instead of receiving the right page, what I'm getting is a one
of our pages that is shown when a forbidden resource is accessed
without the user having the proper permission.

What am I doing wrong here, isn't the user already authenticathed?

Regards
