I'm trying to understand how to write an app that runs on my local machine, and talks to a hosted website to get access to the MySQL database I have stored there. I've read a few articles on Basic Authentication, so at least that part I partially understand (I plan on having username/password pairs to access the data). What I'm really fuzzy on is how I actually communicate with the website. I suppose the real question is what is the interface I need to use in order to talk between my local client and the website? Generate HTML pages containing the data I want? Can I use my own messaging scheme to pass databuffers back and forth?
I've tried searching for this in the mailing list and elsewhere, but don't think I'm hitting on the right key words to get the information I'm looking for. Could anyone direct me to a possible answer? Thanks, -JB Looney
