You may want to sniff a normal web session and see what is going on. 

Personally, I use sniffit for this kind of thing.

ie, as root:

   apt-get install sniffit
   mkdir sniff
   cd sniff
   sniffit -s @ -l0 -b 

do what you need to do with Firefox.. Login, Grab the Report.

Then Ctrl-C / stop Sniffit. 

Look at the files in that directory closely, you'll see EVERYTHING that
was sent back and forth. You'll see what was used for 'authentication'

Personally, I find PHP easier to do this than PERL, but both work well.
