Yes, I think it should work both with local and remote servers. So far I
have planned to use sockets for the traffic. As far as I understand
sockets, they are like files; you can read form them and write into them,
and they carry the stuff over a network connection. A port number and an
IP address defines a socket; it could be like
500:remote.server.net
where "500" is the port number and "remote.server.net" is the IP address
of the remote server. In this case there should be a server process
listening the port 500 in the remote system, which would receive the
requests from plugins and provide the service. But if you wish to run a
local service, you would just use
500:localhost
and it should work just fine. The plugin user interface would contain a
text box where user could set those above settings.
I have to admit that I have not worked with sockets before, but it doesn't
sound too hard. :) All servers (httpd telnet etc) work using the same
priciple I think.
