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
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.

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.
