why isn't Requests not signing into a website correctly?

I am trying to sign into linkedin by using the requests library. After looking around the best way to do this is with using a requests.Session() I attempted to do this, but I was not successful. I believe it has something to do with the link I post to.

import requests

payload = {
    'session_key': EMAIL_GOES_HERE,
    'session_password': PASSWORD_GOES_HERE
}

with requests.Session() as s:
    s.post('http://ift.tt/iMnaLP', data=payload)
#program should be signed in here so I am going onto a private page that requeires the user to be signed in.
r=s.get('http://ift.tt/1fhMG59')
#saving the results in an HTML file for easy debugging/viewing 
html= open('testtest.html', 'w')
html.write(r.content)
html.close()
