First, great response time :)

Second, in trying to find where I had read that -c would do everything I
came across the following in the cURL manual:

Alas, to both read and write cookies from a netscape cookie file, you can
set both -b and -c to use the same file:

        curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt www.example.com

which is pretty clear... so my bad. I thought I had gone through
everything before, but... :P
