Hi All, I'm trying to develop a web application involving ns2. The idea is, user can write a small simulation program and submit from the front end. This program would go the web server, which will then have the script executed by ns2 (running on the server machine), and send back the output (or error message) to the user.
Is there any existing software that could help me to achieve this i.e. converting a HTTP request to input for ns2 and output from ns2 to HTTP response?
