Only thing I can think of is to copy their capabilities document and
place the copy on a web server (any web server). A capabilities
document can refer individual operations to other services. You
actually should be able to store one on your local file system.

I do not think this situation happens often enough to warrant an
override; simply reporting the problem to the service provider should
get it resolved.
