[imp] accessing from a URL not a form

Greetings, I'm trying to do a login without using the form.
I saw in the archives discussion between Brad Vedders and
Tjeerd van der Zee and Tjeerd's snippit:

> <?
> $imapuser = $_GET['imapuser'];
> $pass = $_GET['pass'];
> $realm = $_GET['realm'];
> $imapuser = "$imapuser@$realm";
> 
> print ("
> <html>
> <head>
> </head>
> <body bgcolor=\"#444466\" Onload=\"javascript:document.redirect.submi=
t()\" >
> <form name=redirect action=\"http://mail.xar.nl/imp/redirect.php\"
> method=post>
> <input type=hidden name=actionID value=\"105\" />
> <input type=hidden name=redirect_url value=\"\" />
> <input type=hidden name=mailbox value=\"INBOX.\" />
> <input type=hidden name=imapuser value=$imapuser>
> <input type=hidden name=pass value=$pass>
> </form>
> </body>
> </html>
> ");
> ?>

When I use this method, what happens is that it calls redirect.php
which in turn calls login.php (and css.php) and it displays
the login page with the imapuser filled in, but it appears
that the "pass" is not sent along. It gives a failed in login
message on the login page:

   Login failed for some reason. Most likely your username
   or password was entered incorrectly.

What am I missing?? -- Dean
