Dear Daniel

Thanks for your response.
I see the cookie you mentioned but a weird thing is that:
- if I delete my cookies
- go straight to sign up page
https://smc2.sitematch.overture.com/session/login.html on browser I can
still sign up and no cookies were written on my cookies folder

I did try to start the cookie parser as you mentioned and use the same
handle to call the login page but I got same error.

Cheers

frank

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.
