Hi, all
I am working on a web site for uploading files with curl. When I log in from the web browser, there is a APC_REDIR value in
  the LiveHTTPHeaders as shown in the following:

  but When I tried to log in with the following curl command:
  curl -L -D header.txt -d "user=user&pass=pass..." https://somesite.com/login; curl -L -b header.txt -c cookies.txt
  "https://anothersite.com/land.aspx?type=ohp"
The header.txt file is good but the cookies.txt file content is:

If I replace -c with -D as following:

the cookies.txt contains the following:

There is still no redirect cookie (APC_REDIR=...) information here, so when I tried to continue to the next page, I got the
  "no redirect cookie found" error message. Any idea?
  (I am using curl 7.12.1 on Linux.)
  Thanks in advance.
