[microdc-devel] Control microdc through web frontend? Any ideas?

[Sebastian Ewert]

Hi,

I would like to do the following:

Have a website with the possibility to enter a search term.
After sending the search term a script (PHP?) is called; this script shall 
call microdc and initiate the search, wait a few seconds and display the 
results. Then the user can select a hit and another script starts up microdc 
again to download the requested file. Then the file is downloaded into a 
certain directory and can be downloaded (served by an apache webserver).

The idea behind is that I have a Hub here that is just reachable within a 
local network. But I want to access this hub from home; so I gave my family 
SSH accounts on a box that can access this local network (that is different 
from my home network) and the internet. But it seems that this is to 
complicated for some of them. So I had the idea to make some kind of web 
interface.

Any idea how this might be possible?

P.S.: microdc is not a commandline frontend to a DC library you developed, is 
it? Because then (if it comes to the crunch) I could try to write a solution 
myself
