Can't do it, connection refused when I attempt to telnet. :(

That still is not going to work. Because I would need to set-cookie
the PHPSESSID id generated by "index.php" 's server
('www.myotherphpwebsite.com'), which I can't retrieve because it
simply won't let me do so via telnet.

Again, I can get my own PHPSESSID but I can't get the REMOTE
PHPSESSID, and, even if I could do that:

1) Where will it go using CURL?
2) If I put it with the rest of the cookie stuff to go via
CURLOPT_COOKIE, again, Mozilla Firefox will lock up and produce a
page-download infinite loop every time I tried even forcing $PHPSESSID
into the cookie "query string" that is to be placed into the CURL
resource HTTP header.
