That /may/ be because you weren't careful enough coding that. According
to the form code, the login variable isn't called "user-Login" but
instead (2 differences) "user_login".

Also, the form when used on a webpage, sets variable "user_remember_me"
and (I'm not completely sure) maybe also the submit button part sets
something - I don't know why it defines a name and a value - the latter
is the text on the button but what's "name" for?


I haven't used Netsurf for ages, but in Firefox one can see in its logs
what URLs are built and sent back to a server - indeed in developer
tools
one can see the "curl" equivalent command to each communication with a
server. Really the simplest way to recreate something is to look at
what
the browser actually does.
