You must probably do it in two steps. First you do a plain GET request
of the front page in order to receive the correct session cookie(s):

1) curl -c cookiejar.txt http://www.handelsblatt.com/default.aspx

Then you extract the hidden form fields (__VIEWSTATE et al) and perform
the POST:

2) curl -b cookiejar.txt -c cookiejar.txt -d "__VIEWSTATE=xxxxx" ...
http://blablablabla...
