I've now compared the POST that Firefox did with the POST that LWP did and there are no differences in the body of the message just the form fields NO difference in cookies {Dreamhost puts the csrf cookie in later... } So I checked all the headers. Every one I send FF sends. But FF sends, additionally httpVersion, host, User-Agent [FF sends "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0, I just send Mozilla/5.0'), Acccept... , Accept-Language, Accept-Encoding, Content-type, Content-Length [LWP sent 'content-length' => 0, DNT, Connection, and Upgrade-Insecure-Requests.

Do any of those sound like show stoppers for a picky server-login-CGI? I guess it must be one of those, because the cookie and form data is the same, so it can only be the headers. {even if it were a js problem, that would show up in differences between when FF sends and what LWP sends-- it looks like their js mostly just formats boxes and stuff like that on their page} I feel like I must be missing something obvious......
