I think you could use PHP to open a socket. Thia would be a better
approach to the problem.

 function socket_raw_connect ($server, $port, $timeout,$request)
 {
 if (!is_numeric($port) or !is_numeric($timeout)) {return false;}
 $socket = fsockopen($server, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
 fputs($socket, $request);
 $ret = '';
 while (!feof($socket))
 {
  $ret .= fgets($socket, 4096);
 }
 return $ret;
 fclose($socket);
 }

You could code an applet to connect to the originating host using
sockets, but if you want it to connect elsewhere on the net, it will
have to be signed and the user will have to consent.
