Hello,
I think you want a http-server-part of code as the control part of your
application , right ? I've wrote such a 'demo' as a quick (very,very
quick) and dirty (very dirty) 'prototype' a few month ago. So if you are
interested, please let me know. I will send you the (undocumented) code
- without any warrenty :-), OK ?
Regards,
Alfred
