Which is perfectly possible using CURL or more wordy with a normal
fsockopen/fwrite.

The redirection is not really possible: the client doesn't know what post
request to send, and at any rate: posts aren't send anymore on a redirect

Nope. If however the receiving script has the same domain, you can just
request the page yourself on the server and output that directly to the
user (possibly including headers). Perfectly possible, but a nightmare for
relative links. You could consider trying to force a <base> tag in the
head, but I'd call it far from reliable. And your page is offcourse not
bookmarkable at all.
