I guess. curl brings the HTML for you, if that HTML does something in a
browser you need to tell curl what that something is.

In this case it sounds like javascript.

My advice: use LiveHTTPHeaders to figure out what your browser does, then do
the same with curl. If the javascript involves dynamic magic, write a script
that replicates the logic.

So, I will bottom-post. :-)
In fact we use cURL to upload an attached file via a POST HTTPS, on a server (with Java JSP) throw a proxy-firewall Cisco ASA.
The cURL command line is :
curl "https://..." -m 600 -s -S -i -o "/export/home/intchu/tmp/TMPAAAzLayXZ.out" --data-binary "@/export/home/intchu/tmp/TMPAAAzLayXZ.in" -u 'e005423:{tsi:42dafc06}epWBD/j8Qq1/5sdqC2K3' -K "/export/home/intchu/tmp/TMPAAAzLayXZ.curl"
The HTTP reply from de proxy-firewall contains :
HTTP reply :
<html><head><title>Moved</title></head><body>Moved</body></html>
This reply doesn't seem to be interpreted by cURL, does it ?
We don't use any browser. Just cURL on the client server, and the proxy-firewall Cisco ASA.
I believe LiveHHTPHeaders is only for Mozilla Firefox webrowser.
According what you with explain to me, I undersand than cURL can't interpret de HTTP Reply send by the proxy-firewall Cisco. So, I would need to adapt cURL (?). Does the latest (future) version of cURL can (or will be able to) receive HTML in the HTTP reply ?
