The problem here is that this creates an HTTP call of something like...

(headers)

(body)
username = *
password = *

..or whatever the browser POST does. The correct way to use
Kannel POST is, as far as I recall, to provide all the additional 
information _in_headers_, thus:

(headers)
X-Kannel-Username: *
X-Kannel-Password: *

(body)
<the text of the SMS: Note that UDH is provided as X-Kannel-UDH>

At least this was how I coded it 1.5 years ago...
(as a sidenote, there might be support for www-form-urlecoded
nowayads, so any expert can correct me if I am only talking ancient 
history here...)
