Do note that Palav speaks of java, not javascript.

A browser would download the applet and execute it in its own runtime and that
applet would do whatever it wants. curl will not do that.

You'd probably need to run a network analyzer like wireshark to fully track
what the applet does and then you can repeat that with curl.
