Dan: thanks for your input.

When I point my browser to
https://199.189.2.132/alerts/report/report-alert-99606.xml?attack_id=99606&output=xml,
it brings up a page that asks for username/password,
click the Submit button and the xml file shows up on
my browser.

But in the case of curl it goes to the main page which
is https://199.11.2.132/status/is. Thatz the reason I
was thinking that I am not instructing curl correctly
to go to
alerts/report/report-alert-99606.xml?attack_id=99606&output=xml
after logging in.

Thanks
Ravi
