HI.

Take what I type with a grain on salt, your mileage might vary. I
haven't gone to the site, no clue how it works.

If you want to create an auto process to generate/download content,
you more or less need to replicate whst the client/browser does with
the backend server. (I know, basic stuff -- duh!!

If you're running FF, install livehttpheaders as a plugin to be able
to track/see the network traffic for the entire process. You can then
select/download the "stuff" from the browser/server and track the
steps you need from examining the network data from the liveheaders
app.

Basically, you'll need to craft the curl+cookies. However, if you run
into a situation where the serverside is generating the content via
dynamic javascript, you're going to need to either be crafty and
somehow figure out what the appropriate curl+cookie action would be to
replicate the javascript action(s)... or you're going to need to
implement some sort of headless (chrome+sel+py) soution to achieve
your goals.
