I assume that you did full testing with the browser as I suggested? If everything works, one other thing to keep in mind is that the target also may implement reverse DNS lookup in their anti-bot. One good way to test that is to remote in via SSH (if on Linux/Unix) to test with wget. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure that target site have some anti-bot mechanisms in place. Microseconds of analyzing valid 'user' requests is better than processing 2-3 seconds and sending the response which will consume bandwidth. What you could also try is setting different user-agents for every request and use cookies in cURL should the target site have an anti-bot mechanism.
