I haven't tried with the first but with the above, the backend
processes the POST only if the "submit" parameter is specified (the
value is apparently irrelevant). 

curl -d rid=1hk09cs043 -d submit=SUBMIT http://results.vtu.ac.in/default.php | grep -i roshan 

will work but

curl -d rid=1hk09cs043 -d http://results.vtu.ac.in/default.php | grep -i roshan 

will not.
