The current Apple ID login page appears to have broken adc_download.

The page looks like:

It looks like adc_download is trying to find a wosid object in the page, but fails to:

(output is from running with -e -x)

… html from web page…
</html> =~ name="wosid" value="([^"]+)" ]]
+ '[' '!' 'https://daw.apple.com/authenticate;jsessionid=<JSessionID>' ']'
+ curl -s -c /tmp/adccookies.txt -L -F theAccountName=appleid -F theAccountPW=password -F 1.Continue=1 -F theAuxValue= -F wosid= 'https://daw.apple.com/authenticate;jsessionid=<JSessionID>' -o /dev/null

Either one of these should be faster (and more flexible) than curl. Especially on slow connections.

(I'm going to fork and take a stab at implementing this. If you see no activity from me, though, feel free to add it yourself ;)
