in reply to form logins

Which is not what I want. Any ideas why I am getting this rather than an html page??

You're getting this because that's what the server sends to you. The server also sends that to the browser, which interprets the javascript and redirects you to another. This step happens transparent to you, you probably never noticed.

The easiest way is to solve your problem is to emulate the javascript code in Perl, and run it when you receive that page, and then do another request with the URL in document.location.href.

    This is correct... In fact this is a commen thing nowadays where the page that is visited is just adding their own content to a existing page and passing it to the end user...
    another trick in use today is to add conditions that the end user will only get the correct page on the third or fourth time... so that redirection to advertisement are increased.
