PHP Curl, error: Browser must support session cookies?

Question

I am getting an error on the browser saying:

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Date: Fri, 06 May 2011 20:25:28 GMT Server: IBM_HTTP_Server/6.0.2.43 Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) $WSEP: Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=0000HpGRXpuwrdY_u0k-ecHKAFK:14ekdcv70; Path=/ Connection: close Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Language: en Error 500: Browser must support session cookies.

How to solve this problem?

here what I did:

session_start();

$postData = http_build_query($_GET);
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, getcwd() . "\BuiltinObjectToken-VerisignClass3PublicPrimaryCertificationAuthority.crt");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://zzzzzz.zzzzz.co.uk/zzz/zzzz/" . $form_link );
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1 );
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postDataCapcha);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, TRUE); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookiefile");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookiefile");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, session_name() . '=' . session_id());
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    $PagaeCapcha = curl_exec($ch); 

exit($PagaeCapcha);

Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=0000HpGRXpuwrdY_u0k-ecHKAFK:14ekdcv70; Path=/

This is the response header which initially sets a session cookie. This one will not get stored in your cookiefile jar. It's a temporary cookie, and you are throwing it away.

You will have to first issue a requesting request that points to the e.g. homepage. And only afterwards send the actual data request to the desired endpoint /zzz/zzzz/.
