Attached are two files:

bb-siteminder.sh is an example script to demonstrate how to login

formextract.pl is a slightly modified copy of Daniel Stenberg's formfind.pl, which can be found here:

http://curl.haxx.se/docs/programs.html

I'm not a perl programmer, so any screwups in formextract are mine, not Daniel's... :)

It's doubtful that the example script will work out of the box. I've found that I generally have to take it in easy stages - fetch the first page, eyeball it, adjust the script, lather, rinse, repeat.

OK, I'll see about working up a relatively generic script tonight. As I recall it works something like:

curl -s -S -L -o home.html http://somesite.domain.com FORM=cat home.html | formextract.pl | sed -e 'some stuff' curl -s -S -L -o page.html $FORM

That's *very* simplistic, though. 'formextract.pl' is a hack on ' formfind.pl' which comes with curl. It extracts form variables from a page and returns a string suitable for passing back to curl. The 'sed' part is usually a bunch of substitutions to insert the userid and password.

I'm interested in this as well, as we use siteminder too!
