Just a wild guess here, but if both curl *and* a web browser are being
redirected to flotten1.php, it's because that's where the server wants you
to go. You'd have to get to the server's code to find out why.

Assuming that's impossible, the next best thing would be to load up the
LiveHTTPHeaders extension in Firefox and track what actually happens when
you post the form. Watch the entire transaction and see if there're any
steps you're missing in your script. Also, examine any output returned by
the web server and look for javascript or meta-refresh tags that send your
browser someplace else. Your statement "after 5 seconds I'm redirected"
suggests there's a timer in there somewhere. If so, curl won't care - it's
not designed to...
