yes, there are a few options, fopen wrappers, curl or raw sockets all come

right, this is why you would setup a server side proxy, to avoid client side
cross domain security restrictions, however you'll have to change all the
instances of the remote domain to your domain, and ensure that your server
actually is able to fulfill requests for those resources.

this is true, but i doubt you'll be able to have it load a css file from
your domain atop a css file from a remote domain.
