Am I right in thinking, a cookie is set upon successful authorisation?, if
so, this may be where the problem is as it could quite possibly be a case of
the cookie being tied to your first (login) domain, instead of the domain
you are querying/wanting to go to.

If not, what does the second URL usually use? (cookies, sessions etc?)
