If you do this, how are you going to post the user's data back to the
processing server? The processing server probably won't accept the
modified page directly from the user's browser as cookies and/or hidden
fields tied to your IP address are likely to be required. If your server
has to act as a man-in-the-middle, for all intents and purposes this is
the same as the API method, with the disadvantage of your code possibly
breaking if the processing server changes their page layout in any way.
