Including a web page into a velocity portlet

[Damle, Nikhil]

How can I program my velocity portlet to include a page (not necessarily a
.vm page). 
 
Ex. The velocity portlet shows a form with a field "name" within the form. 
 
When the user submits this form, the portlet should display within the
portlet space, the result of the page ->
<http://someaddress/page.cgi?name=> http://someaddress/page.cgi?name=<value
of the name field from the portlet>.
 
Thanks.
