Hi Simon,
this is new to me as well, I got it to work using:
curl --data
"login_email=myname%40gmail.com&login_password=password&submit=Sign+in"
http://www.mydspace.com/password-login
I had some issues first using the --data-urlencode parameter instead of
--data. This also encoded the ampersands which shouldn't have happened to
make it work.
If you debug your query, following bit in the return html is interesting:
<input id="aspect_eperson_PasswordLogin_field_login_email"
class="ds-text-field error" name="login_email" type="text" value="*contents
of your query*" title="The email address and/or password supplied were not
valid." />
<span class="error">* The email address and/or password supplied were not
valid.</span>
because I saw that all my parameters ended up in that field, I realized
there was something wrong with the ampersand encoding.
On a sidenote, if you play around with forms, encoding and parameters,
Tamper Data is a nice little firefox add-on that allows you to see and
tamper with the requests you make & responses you get.

cheers,
Bram
