If wget/curl don't work, can you use a text-mode browser like Lynx,
probably with 'expect'?
If that doesn't work ...
?There are? Perl modules to automate web client actions (often used as test
harness for websites), e.g. WWW::Mechanize
Examples: ?perladvent.pm.org/2002/16th/?<http://perladvent.pm.org/2002/16th/?>
perladvent.pm.org/2007/1/?
https://www.google.com/search?q=www+mechanize+tutorial
?http://search.cpan.org/dist/WWW-Mechanize/lib/WWW/Mechanize/Examples.pod
?More links at
http://search.cpan.org/~ether/WWW-Mechanize/lib/WWW/Mechanize.pm#OTHER_DOCUMENTATIONand
below.
IIRC there is a companion Proxy tool to capture needed cookies and web.2.0
requests from an interactive session, but i haven't used it much. If you
want to dig deeper, come on over to our boston.pm.org discuss list
[email protected] (subscribe
links<http://boston-pm.wikispaces.com/Mailing+Lists>),
someone there will have used this.
(?One presumes the Python community will have reinvented this wheel for
those that prefer such; looks like Ruby has.)?

And if that doesn't work, then there's Selenium or perl modules to script a
Firefox session.
