Logging into a website from a Windows Desktop Gadget

I'm developing a Windows Desktop Gadget. From within the gadget, I have to login to an external website, get a response from a specific page and display required information from it.

I have implemented the request using jQuery's $.post(). First, I send the post parameters to the application and it receives a 302 response. After that, when I send subsequent jQuery $.get() requests to other pages, it is not posting the required cookies.

How can I resolve this?
