I tried your two commands and the cookie "cookies" looks very similar
to that of my "inxcookie". Neither of these allowed me to wget an
image, the request is saving the login page's HTML and stores it to
image.jpg.

Based on the HTML of the login page - http://pastebin.com/CP9YsbTr -
you'll see Content-Type: multipart/form-data. This is why I believe I
need --form. This is not for Xymon but rather an IP camera.
