I've slightly modified the python script you gave me to get this to work:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import urllib
import httplib2

cert_file = 'e.pem'

http = httplib2.Http(disable_ssl_certificate_validation=True)
http.add_certificate('', cert_file, domain='')

url = '
https://auth.my-profile.eu/auth/index.php?authreqissuer=https://my-profile.eu/index.php
'
response, content = http.request(url)

headers = {'Cookie': response['set-cookie'], 'Content-type':
'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}

newurl = 'https://my-profile.eu/wall.php'
body = { 'comment' : 'curltest', 'user' : 'local', 'new' : '1' }
response, content = http.request(newurl, 'POST', headers=headers,
body=urllib.urlencode(body))
