log in with firefox and export cookies to cookies.txt
This only exports cookies for the given site. Not all domains. But it could be relevant that another domain was used to authenticate and does have some cookies.
Curl options
-b read cookies from this file. Don't store any cookies here. -c write all cookies here -v be verbose -D dump headers to this file -I just show the headers, not the body
rday@ferret:~$ ls -l incookies.txt outcookies.txt ls: cannot access outcookies.txt: No such file or directory -rw-r--r-- 1 rday rday 643 Feb 1 11:25 incookies.txt
use those cookies in curl
rday@ferret:~$ curl -vD headers -b incookies.txt -c outcookies.txt http://christianscience.com/bible-lessons/ebiblelesson/love
