Re: Getting HTTP POST without webserver??

Philosophically speaking, you need a "web server", but not necessarily something with the full capacity.

If you care socket programming, just write a piece of simple program, listening at port 80 (or whatever), receiving incoming HTTP post request, processing it, and responding to it.

Or use something like LWP.

Thought so about the webserver thing, I like the last post and I think I will try it in this direction first, its no time pressure behind that and I would like to explore it... The whole story behind that is that I planned to tie a short javascript to a brwoser shortcurt which gets the url of the site im currently at and write it into a file or whatever... (just for keeping bookmarks) but when I discovered that javascript don't have such a function due to security reasons I try it to send via http now...	[reply]

Ajax can help in this case, and to make things easier, more stable, and more cross platform, try a javascript library, for example jquery. Peter (Guo) Pei	[reply]
