AS and CGI

I have a question about using AppleScript with a CGI (not using AS
"as" a CGI):

Is it possible to simulate sending HTML form data to a CGI and
have the AppleScript receive the resulting web page as the result?
I won't have direct control of the actual CGI, but I wasn't sure how
the CGI might know where to return the data if it doesn't really
come from a browser (sorry, I'm still a novice with the CGI aspect).

My goal is automate submitting data just as if a user submitted the
form from an HTML page (authentication is not a issue here, I'm
building almost the whole site) and have the script receive the
resulting web page first--instead of going to the users browser.
That way I can do further editing to the page, add more information,
and then send it back to the user's browser as the modified HTML
page.

Thanks for any advice!
