Is it possible?

I want to integrate website with BYOND application, doing things on website would send data to the application.

I know one way to do something like that is to send data to mysql database from website, and from byond app monitor the database for new records... but I don't like the concept, sounds heavy.

Can I send data to server_ip:port using POST and receive it in world/Import() ?

You can use sockets to send data that will be picked up by world/Topic(), there's a topic about the data format at id:33090 -- good luck :)
