Comment (by pw201):

 Clarification of the problem: LJ's protocol gives you an authentication
 code as a string over their XML-RPC protocol, and you then send it back as
 a cookie when you retrieve the comments using straightforward HTTP GETs on
 a special URL. This string contains ":" and "/". The PHP urlencode
 function decides to encode those. LJ's server doesn't choose to interpret
 cookies as urlencoded. Failure ensues.
