David,
Interesting challenge. I faced a similar issue. By carefully getting
the "view source" for each frame on the page I was eventually able to
grab the code for the javascript function and figure out what it did and
mimic it on the server side so that I could pass the correct variable
through curl. It looks like they are explicitly passing the session id
in the URL. There may be a way of getting cURL to spit that out of the
header info so that you can pass it explicitly too.

So, do a network trace to see what kind of URL that usually seems to
become
when you follow the link and your browser, and try to figure out from
that
what the function call above means.

Or get a book or a tutorial or something on javascript!
