I'm trying to read web pages with financial data. I have no problem if it's
a .php file. The URL reads

and when I type

curl -o test.pge http://www.pcquote.com/options/stringget.php -d ticker=OEX -d THEORETICALS=1 -d RANGE=999 -d SHOW=1 -d FIRSTMONTH=0 -d MONTHS=2

the page downloads nicely.

However, when I try the OEX page at CBOE (which is really the definitive page) it doesn't work. The
URL is

and when I type

curl -o test.pge http://www.cboe.com/MktQuote/DelayedQuotes.asp -d TICKER=OEX -dPAGE=1 -d ALL=1 -d bRunQuery=true

I get the following error message:

<head><title>Object moved</title></head>
<body><h1>Object Moved</h1>This object may be found here.</body>

Does anyone know what is happening? Or better yet, does anyone know what I could do
to read the CBOE page?
