I think you're right about the User-Agent. Shouldn't matter unless they're trying to optimize depending on what browser you're using. I also think you're right about the five extra cookies being the problem. I haven't used curl enough yet to say why the CLI curl picks them up and the PHP one doesn't, but I would guess that if you add all five cookies in your PHP source, it would likely work. Namely, change this: >> DOESN'T WORK: >> $url = "http://online.wsj.com/home/us";; >> $filename = "wsj.html"; >> $mycookie = "blahblahblah"; To this: $url = "http://online.wsj.com/home/us";; $filename = "wsj.html"; $mycookie = "WSJIE_LOGIN=xyz; fastlogin=xyz; wsjproducts=xyz; ". "user_type=xyz; REMOTE_USER=xyz; UBID=xyz"; Then you should see the PHP curl sending all six cookies when you watch it with your sniffer, and with any luck, you should see the right page.
