POST / GET request issues

I'm trying to get data from http://poe.trade/ - disclaimer, although this site is about a game, my script will not in any way interact directly with the game in any way. The script is just to get data from the site.

To explain how it works - you submit a POST request and a custom URL is returned, then you do a GET request on that URL and you get the final URL you want.

 

First issue:

Now, I've tried doing so by using https://apitester.com/ and the first phase works. Here's how it looks like at APITester: 

Request Headers
POST /search HTTP/1.1
Host: poe.trade
Accept: */*
User-Agent: Rigor API Tester
Content-Length: 43
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Request Body
online=x&name=kaom%27s%20heart&league=incursion

When I submit this, the response I get is this: 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<title>Redirecting...</title>
<h1>Redirecting...</h1>
<p>You should be redirected automatically to target URL: <a href="http://poe.trade/search/ioritewoteteme">http://poe.trade/search/ioritewoteteme</a>.  If not click the link.

So I then do a GET request for 'http://poe.trade/search/ioritewoteteme', which results in this response: 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<title>Redirecting...</title>
<h1>Redirecting...</h1>
<p>You should be redirected automatically to target URL: <a href="http://poe.trade/search/inamotezuakito">http://poe.trade/search/inamotezuakito</a>.  If not click the link.

Great, this link (http://poe.trade/search/inamotezuakito) is exactly what we want.

However, when I try to do the same in autoit, the result is quite different: 

Global Const $HTTP_STATUS_OK = 200

$test = HttpPost("http://poe.trade/search", "/online=x&name=kaom%27s%20heart&league=incursion")
ClipPut($test)
MsgBox(1, "", $test)

Func HttpPost($sURL, $sData = "")
    Local $oHTTP = ObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")

    $oHTTP.Open("POST", $sURL, False)
    If (@error) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)

    $oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("Host", "poe.trade")
    $oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("User-Agent", "Rigor API Tester")
    $oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("Accept", "*/*")
    $oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")


    $oHTTP.Send($sData)
    If (@error) Then Return SetError(2, 0, 0)

    If ($oHTTP.Status <> $HTTP_STATUS_OK) Then Return SetError(3, 0, 0)

    Return SetError(0, 0, $oHTTP.ResponseText)
EndFunc

The code above returns: ' 謟 '

Any ideas as to what I am doing incorrectly?

 

Second issue:

Once I get the final link using APITester and do a GET on that i get a bunch of hieroglyphs. A friend of mine advised that the data is GZiped, which is a pain in the butt to be honest. However, apparently curl can uncompres that.

How would I go about it?

 

Thanks
