Thanks for the answer. Just tried it, to no avail.

I added the following three lines into rc.local (originally untouched, 
contained only the usual exit 0 which I left at the end of the file).
echo coucou > /home/olivier/Logiciels/FBL-rc-auth-log.log
curl -d 'admin_id=XXX' -d 'admin_pw=XXX' 
http://internet.ciup.fr/web_auth/index.html -o 
/home/olivier/Logiciels/FBL-rc-auth-res.log 1>> 
/home/olivier/Logiciels/FBL-rc-auth-out.log 2>> 
/home/olivier/Logiciels/FBL-rc-auth-err.log
echo fin >> /home/olivier/Logiciels/FBL-rc-auth-log.log

Having deleted the files /home/olivier/Logiciels/FBL-rc*, I reboot. 
After the reboot: FBL-rc-auth-out.log is empty. FBL-rc-auth-err.log 
contains “curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'internet.ciup.fr'”. 
FBL-rc-auth-log.log contains only “coucou”, which is pretty strange, 
meaning that apparently the script did not complete. FBL-rc-auth-res.log 
does not exist.

Running 'bash /etc/rc.profile' from a terminal after the boot is 
completed executes the script correctly (output files are set as 
expected) and correctly authenticates me.
