hi, thanks for all your comments! My application could not act as a server in the way we can use the server side script on it. Rob j Meijer's first solution seems rather suitable. Yes, that is really what I want to become my app. become. It doesn't matter I listen to browser on what port, but I must parse the request from browser, Could you tell me more clearly about it?
