CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE is only used to *read* cookies from a file, it never writes
them. If you want curl to write the cookies you use CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, and
then the cookies will be written to the given file name when the curl handle
is closed.

When I reach the login form page, it:

1) expects a post sent to
https://smc2.sitematch.overture.com/session/login.html

2) it has already set a cookie (named "SMC_SESSION") in my browser that it
most certainly checks for when the login procedure is processed by the server.
