Is there anyway to connect to a socket via javascript. Im writing an
application where IE on the client pc..needs to connect to a server and get
some information before forward to an action class for processing...I have
the following options..
applet, activeX..what other solution is there and what wooutl be the easiest
to do. If I go activeX using C# or vb.net i will have to worry about
configuring security on the clients workstations..
If i use an applet I also have to worry about the correct jre plugin
installed..
what can i use without worrying about too much about security..this is a web
application on the company intranet.
its a web app..built with struts/jsp/spring/javascript....and i need to do
some work on the client side first gathering information from another server
before passing it to my web server...
any ideas?
thanks
