That's a good idea.
Full pathnames are generally required in any Do Shell Script command and I'm not so sure about that ~ shortcut to your home directory.
curl --cookie-jar zecookie.txt
depends on the current working directory when used in a Terminal session. But when it's called from AppleScript remember that no profile or .tcshrc is executed to set your $PATH and a working directory. I'm not even sure that the shell as called from AppleScript even knows who you are. How about:
curl --cookie-jar /Users/yourusername/zecookie.txt
And you might also need:
Do shell script curl --cookie-jar quoted form of "/Users/yourusername/zecookie.txt"
though the exact syntax of that likely needs attention.
