Thanks, Yep, I tried escaping the & with \& as on linux at home, but that
did not work. On windows you need to enclose the whole url in "".

Some urls work correctly now, but others expect a cookie and fail. The
cookie value is dynamic, as the name is ASPSESSIONIDGQGGGQDM and the value
changes.

curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0'
"http://www.aex.nl/scripts/marktinfo/Optiekoersen.asp?taal=nl&Symbool=KPN&a=
1&History=YES"

gives header:

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 08:59:39 GMT
Content-Length: 1335
Content-Type: text/html
Expires: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 09:11:39 GMT
Set-Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDGQGGGQDM=BGCKOHPCAJLBHIOAEJLEIEGC; path=/
Cache-Control: Public
Age: 249
X-Cache: MISS from etamail.intranet.eta.nl
Proxy-Connection: close

I tried the -b "ASPSESSIONIDGQGGGQDM=BGCKOHPCAJLBHIOAEJLEIEGC" option but
did
not work.

Also -L -b empty-file
Also -b previous-header-file

Is there a way to trick this server?
Should I try lynx in this case which has an option accept-all-cookies?

best regards,
Peter

You should probably escape that &-letter somehow. Like enclosing the entire
URL with quotes " or '.

Well, just making a POST instead of a GET is not always appriciated by the
receiving script/program. I would stick to GET if I were you.

How to put quotes around the URL properly. ;-)
