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.
