it is possible to do auto submit this form using curl or not? what is the best solution for it??

Answer 1

You should use the --cookie-jar argument to curl to store the cookies that are returned with each request.

Answer 2

One solution would be to perform it as a job. Store this information in your database instead of just the session and query for pending submissions with every request made to your site.
