Forum login and reading

Question

I'm using HTTPClient (not apache/jakarta one) to login to a forum in order to read a page available to members only... The login process is successful but when I instruct the program to read the desired page, I only get a 'you must be logged in' error page. What am I doing wrong?? I accepted the cookie, but should I do something with it??
I've found some similar topics, but none of them seemed to help... If you have any idea on this, please do answer me...
Here's what I've done:
===================================
URI doc_uri,form_uri;
HTTPConnection con;
try {
doc_uri = new URI("http://www.something.net/forum/");
form_uri = new URI(doc_uri,"misc.php?action=login");
con = new HTTPConnection(form_uri);
// create the NVPair's for the form data to be submitted
NVPair[] form_data =
new NVPair[] {
new NVPair("username", "somename"),
new NVPair("password", "somepass"),
new NVPair("hide", "1"),
new NVPair("secure", "yes"),
new NVPair("loginsubmit","Login")
// POST the form data, as indicated by the method attribute
System.out.println(form_uri);
HTTPResponse rsp = con.Post(form_uri.getPathAndQuery(), form_data);
} catch (ParseException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}catch (ProtocolNotSuppException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}catch (java.io.IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}catch (ModuleException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
read();
======================================
read() opens a DataInputstream on URLConnection and does standard reading... My mistake is probably there... How should I maintain my login and read the protected page??
Thanks a million.

Additional to the above post, I can't log out either.
Both the links to 'Logout', on the top left and right apparently link to 'javascript.window.close()' which obviously just closes the browser window and leaves you with a blank browser.
