Description

### Expected Behavior

Executing the generated code returns the same result as the one retrieved by insomnia

### Actual Behavior

Another web page is returned, saying that the user is not logged in

### Reproduction Steps

This behavior happened with the following website : ``https://forum.mobilism.org`

Create a POST request on https://forum.mobilism.org/ucp.php?mode=login` to log in.
The necessary cookies will be stored by insomnia

Send a get request on the following url : `https://forum.mobilism.org/search.php?sr=topics&sf=titleonly&keywords=test`

Export as code (I tried both curl and wget, they give the same result)

In insomnia, the search results are retrieved. With curl and wget, a webpage asking to login is returned

Research direction

Start by reproducing the login and search requests in Insomnia, then compare the exported curl and wget requests with the working request, especially their handling of stored cookies. The issue mentions no source files or tests; done means the generated commands return the same authenticated search results as Insomnia.
