We generally recommend -c to store cookies in a more failsafe way. Or more
specificly, reading cookies saved with -c is more failsafe than cookies saved
with -D.

Use -v and check if that cookie you saved in step 1 was sent off.

I don't know. How do you know when you use a browser?

No one but you can tell. If you just act exactly as your browser does when you
login, you should be logged in fine.

Usually that's not a problem if you've logged in and have all the cookies etc
saved so that the site considers you OK for it.
