 You're probably going to need to do a "get" on the login page first, which
very likely will hand you the cookie. Then post back the login form with
userid and password. Something like this:

     curl -s -S -L -b cookies -c cookies -o loginpage.html
http://10.10.10.191/login.html

     curl -s -S -L -b cookies -c cookies -o loginresult.html \
           --form username=admin \
           --form password=thisismypasswd \
           --form Submit=Login \
           http://10.10.10.191/login.cgi

Are you sure the login requires a multipart form? In all the web page
monitoring scripts I've written for hobbit/xymon I don't believe I ever used
a multipart form post.
