But I believe that I have the same problem performinging HTTP downloads.
My main reason to to use curl is to make a script based download from a
password secured WEB page (e.g. the link
http://www.affymetrix.com/redirect/taf.jsp?source=dc&dest=/Download/data/HG-U95A_target.zip
on http://www.affymetrix.com/analysis/download_center.affx), which I
could not realize until now with wget (I am not able to use the
--load-cookies option of wget). So I am doing the following:
curl -d "password=****" -d "logon=rose%40rz.uni-potsdam.de" -c cookies
https://www.affymetrix.com/site/processLogin.jsp
curl -b cookies -R -O -z HG-U95A_target.zip
www.affymetrix.com/Download/data/HG-${i}_target.zip
which is working, with the exception that '-z HG-U95A_target.zip' is not
considered. I.e., the the remote file is transfered newly and the
existing HG-U95A_target.zip is overwritten every time I am performing
the above call.

Sorry, that there are such complications with GNU and MIT license
