Thank you for your replies. I considered those extra form values, but
I thought they would be typically not be sent anyways since they are
inside of a seperate form. Regardless, I tried adding them with no
success. I went ahead and added a user agent (just copied the one that
my browser is using). I have made some additional changes, but still
no luck. Here is my current mess:

curl -c cookies.txt -b cookies.txt -L -k -A "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;
MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR
2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; MS-RTC LM 8)" -d "" -e
"http://www.cisco.com" -G "http://cisco.com/cgi-bin/login" -d
"USER=usernamehere&PASSWORD=passwordhere&target=http://cisco.com/cgi-bin/login&smauthreason=0&smquerydata=&smagentname=zjGKGqr62shoVBG6cNUdYNajdKPzmOFLa/ZkeebT0+NV+EcoXFhv/vB8k65Cw/+x&postpreservationdata=&SMENC=ISO-8859-1&SMLOCALE=US-EN"
-e "http://cisco.com/cgi-bin/login" "http://cisco.com/cgi-bin/login"
-d "method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCsi78581" -e
"http://cisco.com/cgi-bin/login" -G
"http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do"

Here is what I am thinking I need to do:
1) GET http://cisco.com/cgi-bin/login
2) POST http://cisco.com/cgi-bin/login (user, password, extra values)
3) GET http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCsi78581

Does it look like I'm even using the correct arguments for cURL? It
appears that a cookie is being set, but all 3 requests simply display
the login page. Any other thoughts?
