Access a complete flow with CURL + bash shell
Hello Experts ,

I have an use case which needed your help . I have been using google for 2 days buy couldn`t succed , i believe i can get the help here.

Here is my use case to run on bash shell

1. Access an URL -- in script , it will be mentioned as inputURL
2. Once i accessed the URL on step 1 , it will be redirected to a login page - in script it will be called as LoginPageURL
3. I will key in the creds with below syntax of curl - creds.txt has credentails saved
Code:
hitlogipage = curl --url $LoginPageURL  -K- <<< "--user $mydir/creds.txt"

4. Once i accessed internally , it will get redirect to an .fcc page and then to URL2 .
5. While it redirect to URL2 , it will have some cookie details in headers , which i need to capture and display-- It will be awked and saved on a variable called SessionCookie.

Code:
curl -I $hitloginpage

Can some one provide me some help ?

i couldn`t achieve step 4 and 5 .
and on step 3 , i keep getting "curl: (3) <url> malformed" . But when i give same with what is inside LoginPageURL , i am successfully redirecting to step 4.

curl_easy_unescape

curl_easy_unescape(3)						  libcurl Manual					     curl_easy_unescape(3)

NAME

       curl_easy_unescape - URL decodes the given string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       char *curl_easy_unescape( CURL *curl, char *url, int inlength , int *outlength );

DESCRIPTION

       This function converts the given URL encoded input string to a "plain string" and returns that in an allocated memory area. All input char-
       acters that are URL encoded (%XX where XX is a two-digit hexadecimal number) are converted to their binary versions.

       If the length argument is set to 0 (zero), curl_easy_unescape(3) will use strlen() on the input url string to find out the size.

       If outlength is non-NULL, the function will write the length of the returned string in the integer it points to.  This  allows  an  escaped
       string containing %00 to still get used properly after unescaping.

       You must curl_free(3) the returned string when you're done with it.

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.15.4 and replaces the old curl_unescape(3) function.

RETURN VALUE

       A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.

SEE ALSO

       curl_easy_escape(3), curl_free(3), RFC 2396
