I figured that might be the case. I guess half a solution is better
than no solution at all. Would it be possible to engineer a
man-in-the-middle situation between the browser, server, and remote server?

I have been looking at Phpcap as a possible solution. It seems possible
to engineer the non-returnable package (half solution) situation. But I
wouldn't know where to begin to attempt the man-in-the-middle situation
or if it is even possible.

Thank you for your response.

Respectfully,


Gary
