I don't see a difference between curl and wget, other than that curl is restricted to this kind of scripting use (it can't sensibly retrieve more than one page at once, which in this case doesn't matter), whereas wget is more universally useful. If you couln't make it work with wget then probably for some secondary reason, which also makes the opposite case equally likely (wget works and curl doesn't) in any given case.
