You cant guess variable names yourself. You have to do HTTP Sniffing to see
what variables are posted to the website for login process and then post the
same variables from your cURL session. you might need to store cookies too
for the login process. You can use different HTTP sniffing tools
e.gLivehttpheader which is a Firefox Plugin and can be installed
within minutes
and works awesome.
