You need to understand that curl gets the HTML for you. That's basicly all.
If you output the HTML from the remote site, making it appear as if it was
your local stuff, then yes it may very well not work.

Then you need to do somthing about it.

Most likely, you should translate all URLs in the HTML to go through some
local script on your site that can perform some magic to make them work.
