First, thanks for your help.
My problem is the inability to assign the cookie back to the browser and
give it control of the application(web site). I understand you can write a
cookie on the server and use it to connect but then you have the overhead of
parsing the site throughout the entire connection.

Am I missing something?

That's the beauty of CURL my good man. Do some reading about how to use
cookie files, return transfer etc.

You'll be up and running in no time flat.

NOTE: before you get frustrated ahead of time, make sure you allow the
directory where your cookie file is going to be stored, to be 755 or CURL
won't be able to create new cookie files. :)

I am looking to accomplish the below process: client browser starts script
-> server submits username and password to external server -> external
server returns cookie with session info for login -> this cookie information
and correct return page are returned to the client browser -> Client
proceeds as logged in.
a) Is this possible with curl?
b) If so, can you point me in the right direction to get started?
Thanks,
hatchman
