Using the default install on Mac OS 2, version curl/7.7.2
(powerpc-apple-darwin6.0) libcurl 7.7.2 (OpenSSL 0.9.6b)

Attempting to download a file using curl -u xxxxxx:password -b nocookie
-vLO http://domain.com/sys/div/file.pdf

from an extremely paranoid company.

I get following:

* Connected to sillyprefix.domain.com (151.193.204.xxx)

I get a pdf file with text showing a 403 file explaining the browser
needs cookies???

I would appreciate any help, even to giving the actual direction to
look for problems.
