How to use cURL to send Cookies?

Question

I read that Send cookies with curl works, but not for me.

I have a REST endpoint as:

class LoginResource(restful.Resource):
    def get(

I'm using Debian, and I was unable to use tilde for the path. Originally I was using

curl -c "~/cookie" http://localhost:5000/login -d username=myname password=mypassword

I had to change this to:

curl -c "/tmp/cookie" http://localhost:5000/login -d username=myname password=mypassword

-c creates the cookie, -b uses the cookie

so then I'd use for instance:

curl -b "/tmp/cookie" http://localhost:5000/getData
