Include uses a URL connection to get the data. You might want to try and
writing a similar component that uses the httpclient library. Or cast the
connection from URL#openConnection to HttpConnection and use the methods
there for adding headers. I think the only major challenge will be if the
old application is using cookies since you'd need to manage them yourself.
