POSTing a form programatically with cURL

[Grey Alien]

Apologies for the cross post. I am quite desperate and do not know which
ng would be the most appropriate.

I am trying to programatically POST an ASP form, to allow me to log on
to a site programatically.

<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="Default.aspx"
id="aspnetForm">
<input name="_ct99:Content:UsrName" type="text"
id="_ct99_Content_UsrName" />
<input name="_ct99:Content:Pwd" type="password"
id="_ct99_Content_Pwd" />
<input type="submit" name="_ct99:Content:btnLogon" value="Logon"
id="_ct99_Content_btnLogon" />
<input id="_ct99_Content_SavePwd" type="checkbox"
name="_ct99:Content:SavePwd" /></p>
</form>
Could anyone please specify the data I should pass with the
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS flag option (i.e. passed to curl_easy_setopt()) ?
I have not been succesful so far in trying to log on.

I rarely use Curl, only as fallback for when it is not possible to
execute SSL fsockopen requests for some reason.

What I use is this HTTP client class that abstracts me everything about
an HTTP connection. Submitting a form just requires me to pass an
associative array with field names and their values. Take a look at the
test_http_post.php example:
