Submit from browser works but LWP does not

[Plankton]

Dear Monks,

I am having one hell of a time trying to get my LWP script to work with this aggravating web server using tons of javascript, jsp, and one of those awful oracle web/database solution Larry Ellison fools people into buying.

My script does this ...

    .
    .
    .
$UA->cookie_jar->add_cookie_header();
$resp = $UA->post ( $actionUrl,
        @ns_headers,
        'Content_type'    =>    'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        'Content' => [
            <... a bunch of stuff ...>
        ]
    );
    .
    .
    .

What that is suppose to do is create add some data to a database, but when I check the database there is nothing to be found.

When I submit the form via a browser everthing works fine, so I decided to do a tcpdump when I run my script and when I submit the form via the browser and look for differnces. And there are! When I run my script I get this tcpdump output:

But when I submit the form via the browser I get this output from tcpdump ...

    ... a bunch html ...

What is going on after the form is submitted? What's this Content-Location header? How can I make my script do what the browser does??? Thanks!
