Chances are, the site thinks you're running a robot and is providing a
different page to curl than Firefox. Try matching the Firefox headers exactly
and you might get something different. Or, it might be basing the difference on
the presence of cookies. Try enabling cookie support and go get a cookie from
another page first before downloading this one. You can use Firefox's "Copy as
cURL" feature to get a curl command-line with all the headers and cookies as
used by Firefox to test this theory fairly easily.
