[lug] Using curl to get at pages that require a cookie

[Bill Thoen]

I'm trying to use curl to download a series of HTTP pages that require a 
password at a top-level page and then I guess they use cookies to allow 
access to the lower pages. When I log in via my browser and enter the 
password, I can get to all the pages. But when I try curl 
-b"/.../firefox/.../cookies.txt" http://my.url.com/?page=A it's not 
working. (I substitute the real filename for cookies.txt and the full 
sub-page URL when I do this for real.) Also I'm logged in via my browser 
and have entered the password, so I think my cookie for this site is 
up-to-date.

Am I using the -b option incorrectly?  Can anyone provide some help with 
this?
