I think this is the core of the problem. Up to now you haven't taken
up the job to specify what that means: in the context of the Web, this
covers a broad field:

 - if it's the traditional GET/POST dance, possibly slinging around
   a couple of cookies, I'm pretty sure Dillo is up to the task;

 - if it involves Javascript (and many pages do, the stupid Web
   frameworks nearly force developers to!), then I don't know
   whether Dillo has a Javascript engine built in (if it has, I
   guess it is borrowed from somewhere, because no "normal" entity
   is able to survive the arm's race imposed by Da Googla (heck,
   even Microsoft gave in). But then, you're into full-grown
   Web browser territory anyway.

As it stands, your request reminds me of those customer requirements
à la "it has to work exactly as application X". It's a starting point,
but if the customer and me don't manage to advance significantly from
there, I usually decline the gig.
