EDIT
There has been quite a development. The current problem is this:

I compared requests sent from a browser and sent from my app. There have been some differences and I managed to correct most of them. Some are still unfixed, since I haven’t figured it out how yet. I am using INDY.

  • How can i send (or add) cookies into the request?

    I tried this:IdHTTP.CookieManager.AddCookie('bakatheme=BrectanTheme',IdHTTP1.URL) but it doesn’t work. Also, in INDY help they say that it is supposed to be AddCookie(String, String), but my Delphi only accept (String, TIdURI) – I am not sure if it is the right URI I am calling.

  • In the Headers I have this code: AcceptEncoding:='gzip,deflate,sdch'; yet when I parse the outgoing request, it states this: AcceptEncoding:gzip,deflate,sdch,identitybut I am certain I don’t have “identity” anywhere in the code.

Those are the two things in which my request differs from the browser’s. Now, I am getting a 500 Internal Server Error at return, can it be caused by the lack of cookies or the second thing?

Thank you very much.

    Ok. Lets comment:

    How can i send (or add) cookies into the request?

    You should not do that. Indy handles this for you (but if really want to, there is a TidCookieManager). But it seems to me that you dont know how cookies work. Its not a thing you can add to a request. It cames from the server and it identifies you.

    In the Headers I have this code: AcceptEncoding:=’gzip,deflate,sdch’;

    AcceptEnconding tells to the server that it can compact the response using those algorithms. Indy supports gzip,deflate,sdch,identity and indy is updating que header request to add the one you forgot to put.

    You should take a look at those links to learn how http works:
