cURL和网站登录

Question

I am trying to use cURL to login to the site FictFact ( http://www.fictfact.com ). I have looked at previous StackOverflow posts about the general topic and have tried many different solutions, but haven't hit on the proper one.

curl --data "UserName=name&Password=pass&RememberMe=false" http://www.fictfact.com/account/logon

This returns an Object Moved message.

curl --form "UserName=name&Password=pass&RememberMe=false&submit=Login" http://www.fictfact.com/account/logon

This returns the HTML of the login form page. I tried this without the "submit" and also with a -X POST.

Lastly, I have tried a few variations of sending cookies: curl -c cookies.txt http://www.fictfact.com/account/logon This creates the cookies.txt file and then I use this call to use it: curl -b cookies.txt --form "UserName=name&Password=pass&RememberMe=false&submit=Login" --dump-header headers http://www.fictfact.com/account/logon

This still only returns the login form...not the post-authenticated page.

Is this a site-specific problem or is there something general I am missing?

Thanks!

Using Martin Konecny answer I got login working:

$ curl --data "UserName=plebian&Password=password&RememberMe=false" http://www.fictfact.com/account/logon --dump-header headers 
$ curl -L -b headers http://www.fictfact.com/Account/LogOn

 <div class="navitems">
                Welcome <strong>plebian</strong>!
    [ <a href="/account/logoff">Log Off</a> ]
