Without looking at your code, I can tell that this seems to not be a
problem at all but rather a misunderstanding about what you're doing.
A client sends a request to a server, and the content of the response is
displayed. This is an oversimplified explanation of how a typical HTTP
transaction works.
In your case, the client sends a request to the server (you), and you're
sending a request to another server while the client waits on your
response. If you don't send anything, the client won't receive anything -
it's pretty simple, really. :-)
In other words:
Client <---> You <---> Other Server
Hope that helps.
