        Ralph,
         
        Thank you for the tip. I'm new to CURL, but find it great tool.
         
        Now I'm able to logon with cookies and redirection.
        curl -L -c newcookies.txt -d
"email=scott.tiger%40company.com&password=PASSWD" -x webproxy:8080
http://edw.morningstar.com/login.aspx/login.aspx
         
        But still can't download the file. What am I doing wrong?
        curl -L -O -c newcookies.txt -x webproxy:8080
http://edw.morningstar.com/download.aspx?action=ExtendedMasterlist
<http://edw.morningstar.com/download.aspx?action=ExtendedMasterlist>

I think you missed a bit - the "-c cookiejar" only *writes* cookies to a
file. On subsequent calls you need to tell curl to *read* the
cookiejar. I do every curl call like this:

   curl -s -S -L -b cookies -c cookies -x .........
