I did, and I could print it, but, as you point out, all the relative
links are broken.
What I want to achieve is to actually send the user to the remote
site, exactly as though they had hit [submit] on a POST form.
The only problem with using a form is that I want to do some local
processing that is coincidental with their being sent off to the
payment site. I'd rather not have the possibility of loose ends
caused by their deciding not to press the button, and go play football
instead.

In the case of this particular page, I get the user returned with a
'cancelled' or 'timed out' flag that I can process.

If what I want to do turns out to be as difficult as it is looking,
then I may well have to do that :)

It does, thank you.
