I've tried "wget --ask-password URL", which prompts me for the password
but then redirects to fetch the login page as if I were not logged in,
and "wget --user=USER --password=PASSWORD URL", which also redirects to
the login page instead of retrieving the one I asked for.
I've tried fetching the login page directly using --user and --pass, but
it just fetches the 'please log in' prompt instead of the 'you are
already signed in' prompt.
I've tried using the --save-cookies option to save any cookies generated
by 'logging in', and it just saves a blank "generated by Wget" file with
no data in it.
I've tried --load-cookies=SCSI::SSD.$.!BOOT.Choices.WWW.NetSurf.Cookies
on the offchance, but that didn't work either....
