This is pretty weird. After some experimenting, I narrowed it down to
the value of the User-Agent header. I think the del.icio.us server is
checking that header and returning a 404 if it doesn't like it. And it
doesn't seem to like CFNetwork's default user-agent header, though it
likes Safari and curl.
You can programmatically set the "User-Agent" header value to "Mozilla/
5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.18
(KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Safari/525.20" and the result should
work.
On the other hand, why are you trying to log into del.icio.us using
forms and cookies as though you were a web browser? That site already
has a pretty comprehensive API for applications to access it; you
should use that instead. (That may in fact be what they're trying to
tell you by blocking your request.)
