I've discovered another odd characteristic of this site that might help determine the problem. When you go directly to that page there is no data. Not with cURL, not with fopen, not even with IE or Mozilla. If you go in through the main page, then go to the data page it works fine.(Start at http://alert.dot.pima.gov/scripts/Pima.pl, click on the map, click on the "Group Hourly..." link.) Is it possible that they are using sessions or something? Is there a way to look at the headers to find out? This might also help determine if it's checking for a particular browser. Thanks.
