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!

            Thanks Ralph and Larry - if either of you can share an
example script that would be great.  We are using Siteminder for our
SSO
here so it sounds like it may be easy to steal, er, borrow, what you
have to get it working.
