posting messages using http

[mauman]

Hello all,
I'm writing an application based on a whiteboard in which I would like to receive data posted from another application that can only establish tcp/ip connections. That is, I cannot add any code to the other application to incorporate a sending module. The kind of data I would like to send can be represented with strings. In other words, I would like to ask:
1 - is there a way to interface an application with a whiteboard using only tcp/ip sockets?
2 - if not, is it possible to, somehow, "clone" the way the "post_message_page" behaves in order to post messages to a whiteboard using http requests?
Thank you very much,
Maurizio

Well, maybe I've found an answer to my question... 
I noticed that I can send a request for this page:

http://127.0.0.1:10000/postmessage?radiobutton=sender&checkbox_WB_X=Whiteboard&messagetype=typehere&messagecontent=contenthere&post=post

and the effect will be to send a message to the whiteboard, exactly as if it was sent from an external module...
In this way I can make another application to interact with the whiteboard only through http requests (and only for posting "simple" content, of course).
