Is webgate REALLY needed?

Hello, I appologize if this has been asked and answered previously. I tried to search the forums but found no relavent hits.

We are currently using PageGatev4 with GetWeb, and I am wondering if you even need to use the webgate.exe file to send pages. It appears all it is really doing is taking the form data and creating a text file with the form information (and a bunch of other stuff that appears to be irrelevant to the actual page being sent). Would it not be ok to simply use PHP (in my case.. I'm sure ASP/perl/etc would be fine, too) to format the form data into a text file?

Sure, as long as you mimic the output that the webgate.exe does, you could do it with your own customized script.
