 According to wget, the cookies served by the login script are not valid,
 so they are not stored. This makes it impossible to perform automated
 backup with wget.

 How to reproduce:
 wget --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies=/tmp/wp-cookies --output-
 document=/dev/null https://blogname.wordpress.com/wp-login.php && wget
 --debug --load-cookies=/tmp/wp-cookies --keep-session-cookies --save-
 cookies=/tmp/wp-cookies --post-
 data="log=username&pwd=password&testcookie=1" --output-document=/dev/null
