Curl can also handle cookies using the -c and -b flags. I wrote a simple dungeon crawler whose user-side "client" is a single line of bash, and the game server is stateless - the entire game state gets stored in the cookie:

  c=x; while [ $c ]; do clear; curl -c k -b k hex.m-chrzan.xyz/­$c; read c; done
(just make sure you don't have an important file called "k" in the directory you run it in, or it will get overwritten)
