I may be wrong, however I think I recall that the THTTPCli sent entire
POST-data even though authentication was what the server expected. 
That sounds, at least, not very efficient and the server might treat this 
as an DOS-attempt. I'm no expert in HTTP and the THttpCli, so this behaviour
of THttpCli might be completely correct.
