IF you are still facing the problem then do the following.

$config['useragent'] = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0';

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $config['useragent']);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'https://www.domain.com/');

2.

$dir                   = dirname(__FILE__);
$config['cookie_file'] = $dir . '/cookies/' . md5($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) . '.txt';

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $config['cookie_file']);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $config['cookie_file']);

NOTE: You need a COOKIES folder in directory.
