Hi..

Got a Curl question (and yeah, i've searched Google, this site, as well as the docs!!)

Somewhat new to curl. Trying to use Curl from the cmdline (linux) to fetch pages from a college website (sjsu). I can somewhat get the 1st page, but the 2nd/2rd pages use referers/cookies.. I think this is where things are screwed up..

I'm also dealing with fetching data from within frames on the given page. If I analyze the page, in combination with the livehttpheader data, this shouldn't be an issue.

I've tried using cookie-jar, as well as cookie, in various combinations with the "-e" for the referer, and the "-d" for the posting data...

I'm posting the data from the livehttpheader process for the pages, as well as the test shell script i'm using.. Any thoughts/pointers would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

-bruce

** this is the data that is displayed, when i select the "submit" btn on the location/term page to get to the "class select" page" as i understand the process, the Curl function should more or less replicate this process, with the referer, the postdata, and the target http/url

livehttpheaders data:

Note that --cookie-jar only is for saving cookies. You have to use --cookie with the same file as argument if you want to read in the cookie file (as in you first two commented curl lines).
