Can anyone use curl to login to hotmail?

I am just curious.

Hotmail has this javascript that add a secret cookies. Anyone knows what the secret cookies are and how to put that on our cookie jar?

Man automating gmail is far more easy.

How come hotmail accounts are cheaper than yahoo accounts though.

It's nontrivial. You have to make the SSL connection to LiveID (login.live.com) to get the ANID and PUID for the user, then use those on Hotmail to get the session cookie for Hotmail, then use that throughout the session.

When scripting against LiveID sites, the easy way is generally just to use iMacros and do it with a real browser. Handles all that crap for you.
