I think you would have gotten a different message if the username or 
password had failed. However, if either the username or password have 
"funny" characters in them (i.e. non-alphanumeric) you should 
urlEncode them before inserting them in the url.

You might get more information if you use libUrlSetLogField to 
monitor the responses from the server.

libUrlSetLogField the long id of field "mylog"
