browser?

You could do this kind of thing in a Filter, but that's not really what
they are designed for.

However, you can do it with a standard Servlet as well -- in the doGet()
and/or doPost() methods of your servlet, you would use an
HttpURLConnection to go get the data from the remote webserver, and then
copy it to the output of this request.  There's some example code for
using HttpURLConnection in the Java Language Tutorial (see the Networking
Trail) at <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/>.
