PHP as a proxy to get intranet content

I need to provide content to the external site that comes from internal intranet web servers. These are mostly webservers in hardwired devices such as PLC's.

I have done this on a smaller scale by:
1. opening socket
2. sending http request
3. getting response
4. splitting headers from content
5. sending headers and content back to browser

This new requirement is more invoved though, with activex objects, username/password challenges etc.

Is there a tool out there that can handle this?

thks for any help.

not quite sure but maybe a reverse proxy is suitable
