Anthony,

If the remote server is in the same domain as your captive portal, 
consider using JavaScript and XML HTTP Request. It may prove to be a 
lightweight solution (read, quick-n-easy) to get the dynamic content you 
desire. Take a look at www.jibbering.com/2002/4/httprequest.html for 
some examples of how to use the xmlhttprequest object and associated 
methods.
