Hi, all
I am trying to log into a web page with the corect user name and password using the following command (on Linux):
  curl -o temp.html -d "user=username&password=\$password*\$"
https://secure.site.com
  but failed with the following message in the temp.html file:
 
This server could not verify that you
are authorized to access the document
requested. Either you supplied the wrong
credentials (e.g., bad password), or your
browser doesn't understand how to supply
the credentials required.<P>
 
When I tried the following command:
 curl -o temp.html -v -d "user=username&password=\$password*\$"
https://secure.site.com
  I got the following message:
  * About to connect() to secure.site.com port 443
* Trying xx.xx.xx.xx... * connected

  I still don't understand where the problem is. Can anybody give me some clue?
  Thank you very much in advance.
