Ralph Mitchell <ralphmitchell_at_gmail.com> wrote: I'm not sure what you mean by "find the cookie file". You use curl to
get the initial page, extract the login form action url, then use curl
again to post the login. Assuming you're on some kind of Unix-like
machine, you should be doing something like this:

curl -s -S -L -o a.html -b cookies -c cookies
"http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docId=hpuxSecurityMatrix"
action=`grep loginForm a.html | sed -e 's/^.*action="//' -e 's/".*$//'`
curl -s -S -L -o b.html -b cookies -c cookies -d
"F_USERID=CCC&F_PASSWORD=DDD&f_RememberMe=false" "$action"

Once that completes, b.html is likely to match whatever you see in a
browser after logging in.
