127.0.01 isn't a port, it's an "IP Address" for the local machine. The port for web page interaction would be 80 (or 88, 8008, or something else) depending on how the machine and remote website are set up.
If it's true that you will be in a kiosk environment, you can force people to go through the embedded web browser in Rev. This gives you the opportunity to catch data the way you'd like. Check out the documentation for browserBeforeNavigate and revBrowserGet commands. I don't know if those will do what you want "out of the box" but you certainly can analyze the HTML code (and therefore the JavaScript code) to look for specific operations/urls you want to monitor and either simulate them or rewrite them before display to users so they do what you want. >I have a need to write a little "listener app" that lurks in the >background, waiting for the user to do something on a webpage in a browser, >like Safari.
