The second invokation probably needs some kind of data from the first invoke
that prove to the server that you're still logged in and belonging to that
"session". This is usually made with the use of cookies (check for Set-Cookie:
in the received headers). Try storing them with -c in the first command line
and read them again with -b in the second.

No, curl only supports one kind of POST in a single command line.

Then try setting the referer field properly in the second request, and check
the headers carefully from the first request to see what is really going on.
