I don't know how reviewboard works and how you are supposed to post a
new review, but I assume that you need to login from the login page
first, which will then save a cookie about your session and then post
without using a username and password on the url. Afaik, putting a
username and password on the url is useful for authenticating with the
http server, not with the web application running on the http server.

DrKonqi is doing something similar for logging in to bugs.kde.org...
You may want to have a look there.
