Allright, getting closer. So your "other application", how does it log into
rt? See your browser has an open session when doing the search - some
session-information is stored in a cookie AFAIK, so maybe your other APP
would have to deal with this too?

And you say "I don't get correct results", could you elaborate on this?
Showing us what "not correct" means could certainly help. Something like "I
did this", "expected this" but "go that" (incl. copies of your built urls
etc.) would be realy helpful. Everything else is just plain guesswork and
mind-reading ;-)
