I dont quite follow you. I ran the curl request and recieved a file which has the first part similar to what I am supposed to get than there are calls to javascript functions which crash konqueror and galoen. My cookie jar file has session ID details. I really dont have any link to follow. I am using wget-1.8.2 which is the most recent version I think. The fundamental issue is how does the server figure out that the data it is sending me is being saved and hence starts sending javascript calls instead of the text i need. I attached the code I tried out so any suggestions and helpful hints are greatly apprecieated
Thanks
