I was doing this a while back with Authorize.net and using cURL with
PHP let me ditch the C CGI I had been using to accomplish this. Not
quite as clear-cut a solution as something like the PayFlow extension,
but it's quite doable. Main gotcha is having to compile cURL against
the same SSL libs as were linked into the webserver (Stronghold in this
case) if you're not using PHP as a CGI.
