I don't have any specific answers to your specific problem, but in general
you need to 1) get a page (use present cookiejar, store cookiejar) 2) follow
redirects. 3) parse the result, if there are more links to get, goto 1.

I think you need to single out identifyable problems and ask. It'll be a lot
easier for us, who don't have a yahoo account and who don't feel like
fiddling with 32 curl command lines before we understand what or where the
problem might be.

That's just a word of advice. Feel free to ignore at will.

Good luck!
