Yeah its true I login through browser grab the cookie through httpliveheader
and use it into the code.

I was thinking to automate this process that curl would relogin and grab the
cookie and then download the files

If I remember Siddarth's post correctly, he logs in using his browser
rather than curl, and the cookies he gets have a limited duration.

Perhaps, it is not easy to find an example on how to get cookies with
curl and then use them in the next connection, i.e. how to combine
options -b/--cookie <filename>, -c/--cookie-jar <filename>, and possibly
-L/--location.
