Well ... maybe there's a proxy between Mozilla and the server.

Oops! $qs must not have all that. Strip "image_catalog=...website.com&"
from it before setting it up as the cookie, or if you need the two
cookies they should be separated by a colon, not the ampersand:

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, str_replace('&', ':', $qs));

maybe that works ... I'm not sure about the %2E in there.

It's not the expected cookie, so the server starts a brand new
connection with a brand new cookie.
