Use -L (re-request a moved page at the new location) and maybe also -k
(tolerate insecure ssl connections).

Try this:

#v+
curl -k -L -e 'http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html' -b 'oraclelicense=accept-secure-backup-cookie' -o '/home/CDs/WindowsInternet/Java/jre-8u51-windows-i586.exe' 'http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u51-b16/jre-8u51-windows-i586.exe'
