Windows form application wont work on another PC

I created an windows form application that goes to a website and does a HTTPwebrequest POST and then displays the result in a webbrowser. I tested it on the computer that I wrote the program on and it works exactly like it should. However when I get the .exe file from the bin folder along with htmlagilitypack.dll and run a test on another computer, it does the POST data but web page that shows up in broswer is just the default login page. I have looked at it on fiddler and it seems like the cookies aren't getting set to the webbrowser. How can I fix this? I have also compiled the program in release mode and transferred the files in the release folder and its the same result.
On the program I used this to set the cookie for the browser.
[DllImport("wininet.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
static extern bool InternetSetCookie(string lpszUrlName, string lpszCookieName, string lpszCookieData);
Does it have to do something with that dll file?
Edit: I have made sure both computer has 4.5 NET installed.

Logging to website, make authorization via Headers parameter with httpwebrequest

I'm trying to log in to website. Following settings works when i use putty:
GET /WindchillCProdA/netmarkets/jsp/netmarkets/view.jsp HTTP/1.1
Host: www.host_address.com
Cookie: action_number=0
Authorization: Basic bG9naW46cGFzc3dvcmQ=
I've used following code to make the same thing in C#:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.webpage.com/WindchillCProdA/netmarkets/jsp/netmarkets/view.jsp");
request.Method = "GET";
CookieContainer gaCookies = new CookieContainer();
gaCookies.Add(new Cookie("action_number", "0") { Domain = request.Host });
request.Host = www.host_address.com;
request.CookieContainer = gaCookies;
request.UserAgent = "HTTP/1.1";
request.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic " + "bG9naW46cGFzc3dvcmQ=";
I'm receiving:
The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
I suspect that i have to fill somehow view.jsp because my parameters are not used in this case.

use post method and write on request stream the values,
i Checked the web site and i was redirected to another page the code should be as bellow
//there could be some hash check the scripts via inspect Element

Send post to java servlet using C# HttpWebRequest

I have task of uploading file to java servlet. I installed Fiddler to see where web requests are sent and what post data is sent. After logging into java servlet using HttpWebRequest GET method I receive in cookies SessionId. So I was using this SessionId in headers to create POST request to the web server where servlet is. But in response I receive message that "session is time out. Try to login again." But if I use application through user interface I have the one SessionId for all application which is sent in headers with each request.
This application is running in bank so I was thinking if they have some security against scraping.
Am I thinking in a right way? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Elena

If you are uploading file using HttpWebRequest, you must specify content headers correct.
Content must be specified as Content-Type: multipart/form-data
sample snippet
string DataBoundary = "-----------------------------" + DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString("x");
string contentType = "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + DataBoundary ;
req.Method = "POST";
req.ContentType = contentType ;
req.UserAgent = userAgent;
req.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
req.ContentLength = formData.Length;

C# WebRequest Login Session

Okay I tried asking this question yesterday but i'm not sure if I gave enough info, i got an answer but it hasn't worked for me. Basically what i'm doing is the user opens this windows forms application and logs in. Afterwhich they enter some text into a textbox and click run. At this point the run function is making a webrequest to a server that requires a login (the login that is initially done after they open the program. For some reason its still not seeing that the user is logged in when performing the second request even though the cookies are added too a cookie container. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong but I will post my code so you can further help me.
This is the function that is performed for the login when the user enters the application.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string paramaters = "authmethod=on&chkRememberMe=on&login-form-type=pwd&password=" + pw.Text + "&userid=" + uid.Text + "&username=" + uid.Text;
string strResponse;
HttpWebRequest requestLogin = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://www.url.com/login.form");
requestLogin.Method = "POST";
requestLogin.CookieContainer = cookieJar;
requestLogin.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
requestLogin.ContentLength = paramaters.Length;
StreamWriter stOut = new StreamWriter(requestLogin.GetRequestStream(), System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);
stOut.Write(paramaters);
stOut.Close();
HttpWebResponse responseLogin = (HttpWebResponse)requestLogin.GetResponse();
StreamReader stIn = new StreamReader(responseLogin.GetResponseStream());
strResponse = stIn.ReadToEnd();
stIn.Close();
//Add cookies to CookieJar (Cookie Container)
foreach (Cookie cookie in responseLogin.Cookies)
{
cookieJar.Add(new Cookie(cookie.Name.Trim(), cookie.Value.Trim(), cookie.Path, cookie.Domain));
richTextBox2.Text += cookie.Name.ToString() + Environment.NewLine + cookie.Value.ToString() + Environment.NewLine + cookie.Path.ToString() + Environment.NewLine + cookie.Domain.ToString();
}
if (strResponse.Contains("Log On Successful") || strResponse.Contains("already has a webseal session"))
{
foreach (Control cont in this.Controls)
{
cont.Visible = true;
}
loginPanel.SendToBack();
loginPanel.Visible = false;
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Login failed.");
}
}
This is the function that is ran when the user clicks the "run" button to initiate the tests on a consumer account.
private string runTestRequest(Uri url, string parameters)
{
string testResults = string.Empty;
HttpWebRequest runTest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
runTest.CookieContainer = cookieJar;
runTest.Method = "POST";
runTest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
StreamWriter stOut = new StreamWriter(runTest.GetRequestStream(), System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);
stOut.Write(parameters);
stOut.Close();
StreamReader stIn = new StreamReader(runTest.GetResponse().GetResponseStream());
testResults = stIn.ReadToEnd();
stIn.Close();
return testResults;
}
And of course this is my cookie container object
public CookieContainer cookieJar = new CookieContainer();
P.S.: The domains of the webrequests are different. First being abc.com 2nd being 123.com The only problem is that the first domain (which is the login) is a global login for internal web applications like 123.com, so how would i use the login session from the 1st domain with the 2nd domain?
Can you please assist in helping me figure out what I am doing wrong.

I found out that what was happening was it was redircting to a subdomain on the same domain as the 2nd (123.com) to use the login. Evidently they had this global login system built on the multiple domains to pass the cookies. The code above DOES work and i do have it working now. Thanks!!
