Thanks for the responses.

You're correct the $login I supplied gives the same error page with both browser and robot! I tested it this morning on my office computer. My home computer must have used a cookie which made the page work, as I didn't get the same response from the robot and the browser then.

However now I've changed the $login to:
$login = "https://secure.video.uefa.com/Selfcare/default.aspx?navGraph
+=Login&returnUrl=http://video.uefa.com/video/login.html&returnUrl2=ht
+tp://video.uefa.com/video/login.html&style=";

It still gives the same error as below:

The browser page now works okay, with cookies switched off and with same query string so that's not a problem. I just need to get the same page using the robot as the browser as I need to take out a few params so I can then automatically log in (most notably the massive VIEWSTATE).

Thanks, Tommy
