Hi,
There is a client that sends data to a port on my server, and I need to get
it and store it into a database. The data is not in HTTP format, so it
doesn't use methods like GET or PUT, but only the data.
Can I use Apache to put it to listen on that port and create a program that
get the data and store it into a database?
Yes, but only by writing a custom protocol module, which is not a
simple thing to do.
You would be much better off using a simple scripting language like
python or perl to listen on the port and slurp the data.
If you decide to use httpd, however, I strongly suggest you look at
mod_echo as a trivial protocol module example.
