If it's really wanting popups enabled, I would imagine that the popup does
something like set a cookie, or redirect the page to another page, or maybe
it even does something tricky with javascript. What you need to do is chase
down everything it wants to get - javascript, css files, even images, and
see what each of them does.
A good start would be to access the site using Firefox with LiveHTTPHeaders
installed. That'll capture the interaction between you and the website.
Then start grabbing individual files and examine each one.
Good Luck!!
