Ridwan,
I _suspect_ this problem has nothing to do with the cookie policy used by
HttpClient. Apparently the site rejects the request based purely on the content
of the User-Agent header. Try masquerading HttpClient as a browser such as IE
by using the same User-Agent string the site is known to work with.
Hope this helps
