I am trying to add a feature to my logging program to check for new eQSL confirmations and download the JPG QSLs. I know that there is a program by WD5EAE that can do this, but I also know that its use is deprecated by eQSL because it uses too much server resource. I wanted to modify the program to add a delay between downloading each QSL, but the source code needs an expensive program to compile it so I can't.

Therefore I thought I could write a script using the open source utility WGET. The line:

wget --save-cookies %TEMP%\eqsl --keep-session-cookies --post-data "Callsign=mycall&EnteredPassword=mypwd&Login=Go" -O - http://eqsl.cc/qslcard/LoginFinish.cfm


logs me in OK and saves a cookie to the file specified. But when I then run:

wget --load-cookies %TEMP%\eqsl --keep-session-cookies http://www.eqsl.cc/qslcard/DownloadInBox.cfm


the page returned says that I am not logged in. Is anyone willing to help me with this?
