you can pass 1K of info on a URL as arguments to a http 'page' which invokes your program in whatever web-language its written in.
Well, the data is rather sensitive - authentication tokens, IPs and possibly cookies and/or password hashes, so doing a POST is more prudent than putting it in the URL. I forgot about the possibility of invoking an app or script via use of PHP so thanks for giving me a hint.
you realize POST data is virtually the same as GET data in an http request? if you use https, then its all encrypted.
re: invoking an app by php... if you're talking about php on the 'server' side, just use cgi-bin the old fashion way and your code is invoked directly.
