Can this be done?

I want to be able to keep an eye on an item I've got on ebay from work. However, the ebay website is blocked by work :mad:

Is there any way I can have the ebay page I want to view load in another webpage hosted on my webspace that I can access from work, or as soon as it trys to load data from ebay will it be blocked?

If there's a chance it'll work how do I go about having the ebay page load in mine?

thanks

vnc to your home pc and view it through there?

I tried that on Friday but port 5900 appears to be blocked. 5800 appeared to be ok but both are needed AFAIK. I'll try an alternative port, but not sure which to try yet.

You could try the Google proxy trick

Looks interesting. Is there any way my ebay page will be flagged up so they can see I've been on it or will only google.com show up?

what dave_a141 said works fine

<?php
include("http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BALL-OF-ELASTIC-BANDS_W0QQitemZ5656034044QQcategoryZ88433QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem");
?>

will give you this

using that worked fine.

thanks everyone
