No, there is no <meta http-equiv=...> in the html source.

It really seems it's not a problem of those Logon.x and Logon.y. Let's set
them both to zero, like pressing Enter instead of clicking the mouse.

So, like Mozilla does, I do POST:
"USER=myUSRid&PASSWORD=myPASSwd&TARGET=%2Fe%2Ft%2Finvest%2Foptionorderentry&Logon.x=0&Logon.y=0"

In order to get the necessary cookies PRIOR to posting I'm now "visiting"
the Login page with curl_easy_perform. After that I set CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
and do curl_easy_perform again.

Results: exactly like before. Instead of permitting the logging in, the Host
outputs the Login page with this warning message displayed on it: "You have
requested access to a customer-only feature"

Again, I know quite nothing about html/java/php and all that. All what I
need is to retrieve some data from ETrade without doing a manual login.

Here below my the updated script.

If some kind soul would want to take a deeper look, I can provide userid and
password of an empty account created for test purposes only.
