It is a web application that is implemented heavily in javascript. You
could use a web debugger like fiddler in an attempt to view and rebuild
the commands but I doubt that's going to be tenable long term. It looks
like in the post that SLO_SS_DERIVED_STRM is set to the terminal number
and then after that a get request is made to the same URL and replies
with more html and buried in there is the actual response "No matching
values were found".
IMO curl is not the right tool for this, look into headless browser
webscraping.
