It looks like step #6 is the last one you're probably interested in; the
remainder are images and JavaScript code that's loaded for that page. You
need to create a log like the one you gave but including the POSTed data.
Then you can compare what curl sends with what a browser sends and
spot the differences. If step #5 is where you're stumbling, then it's
probably the POSTed data in that step that's different from what the
server expects, or the cookie isn't sent back.
