Re: Why does this https post request always return "404 Not Found"

[Jens Alfke]

This is pretty weird. After some experimenting, I narrowed it down to the value of the User-Agent header. I think the del.icio.us server is checking that header and returning a 404 if it doesn't like it. And it doesn't seem to like CFNetwork's default user-agent header, though it likes Safari and curl.

You can programmatically set the "User-Agent" header value to "Mozilla/ 5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Safari/525.20" and the result should work. On the other hand, why are you trying to log into del.icio.us using forms and cookies as though you were a web browser? That site already has a pretty comprehensive API for applications to access it; you should use that instead. (That may in fact be what they're trying to tell you by blocking your request.)
