problem using curl to grab cgi script output

I'm trying to use curl to grab the output of a cgi script, which gets invoked
after I submit a username and password on an authentication page. Here's my
command:

curl -d "Username=myuser&Password=mypass&press=Submit"
"http://myhost.mydomain.com/calendar.acgi"

to which curl only outputs the following line:

</html>r>/tr></table> colspan=2><IMG SRC=../images/clear.gif BORDER=0
WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=5></td></tr>

When I actually login in via Firefox, I get my HTML formatted calendar which I
expect from the cgi program. Why is curl only giving me this one line, and not
my HTML formatted calendar?

Thanks for any help.
