Using cURL command line with a Tumbleweed SecureTransport site

I was having problems trying to use cURL on a Win32 box to download a
file from an HTTPS site that uses Tumbleweed SecureTransport. There
was a thread related to this problem but I didn't see a final message
showing how to resolve the problem.
I was finally able to solve my problem and I thought I'd drop a note
into this list just in case it might help someone else later on.
The core problem was solved by echoing a cookie back to the server.
Here's the batch file I ended up using to do this.
echo Starting download of file >test.log
DATE /T >>test.log
TIME /T >>test.log
curl -o login.out -u MY_USER_ID:MY_USER_PASSWORD
https://TheHost.TheCompany.com/ -o THE_FILE_TO_DOWNLOAD.zip -c FDX
https://TheHost.TheCompany.com/THE_FILE_TO_DOWNLOAD.zip?B
echo download completed >>test.log
DATE /T >>test.log
TIME /T >>test.log
echo ========================================= >>test.log
