IdCookieManager not saving cookie

Subject:IdCookieManager not saving cookie

Im trying to access a site that requires a login.
As my application will run in the background without userinput I
have added a TIdCookieManager and assigned it to my TIdHTTP
component.

I'm using the Get method with the proper query items but i never
get past the login. If i paste the same url in my browser it
works just fine. I noticed that no cookies were created when
using the cookiemanager so I was wondering what could be the
problem.

My code is very simple

  IdHTTP1.AllowCookies:=true;
  IdHTTP1.HandleRedirects:=true;
  memo1.text := IdHTTP1.Get(edit1.Text); {edit1 contains the
url )

The TiDHTTP has been set to allow cookies and the useragent has
been set to 'MSIE 6.0'

I even tried setting vAllow to true (NewCookie event of the
cookiemanager)

Any tips would be appreciated.
