Passing some requests to a different program
-
Our website is based on WordPress. We want to send some special requests sent from our own program installed on some client machines to another program running on the server machine and send back the results from the program. I would appreciate any pointers/suggestions about how to do that.
Thanks!
P.S.More details:
Effectively, what we need is http tunnelling. Our program running on the client needs to talk to the program running on the server machine. The program on the client is currently set up to talk to the server program using a socket via a non-http port. The problem however is that occasionally, the firewalls on some client machines block non-http communication. Since most firewalls still allow http traffic, my thought is that our client program can use http protocol. But, the communication from the client program would then come to our http server which serves our web pages. But,we need a way to somehow identify the requests from the client program and pass them on to the other program running on the server machine, get the answer from it, and send the answer back over http. Can we do this and if so, how? We do have the freedom to modify both the client program and the server program.
