There is enough call for this sort of thing that someone has
written the exact piece of software you need. Take a look at
libwww-perl, specifically the lwp-request script that comes along
with that package. It allows you to do something like this, from
the shell:
$ lwp-request http://www.server.com/script.cgi?arg=val&arg=val
You can specificy arbitrary headers (i.e., cookies) with the -H
option, Auth info with the -C username:password option, the
method to use (GET, POST, HEAD, etc), and more.
