I don't think I understand the question. I'll answer what I do understand!

Use -K (or the long version --config) to specify a config file to get a set
of options to curl from. In the config file, you specify whatever you want.
If you want to do a http post to fill in a form, it would be one or more -d
options.

You tell curl to parse and use .netrc by using -n.

If you want multiple URLs to be checked this way, you better make sure to
invoke curl multiple times by entering all the command lines in a script.
