I am trying to create a program that will be passed input data from events a user fires from a webpage on their browser. I am aiming at google-chrome currently with the program being in either java or C#. I know this is possible because Spotify does this, so does the Battlefield 3 PC gui. How can I go about doing this? Does the user need to install an extension or can I get that information straight from google-chrome? Note: The webpage is not being run on localhost.
You’re going to want to look into web sockets. Web sockets are just cool. I got a huge grin on my face the first time I got demo working. 😀
Here’s a tutorial that helped me out:

You can create a socket listen in your appilcation then connect to it from javascript, passing whatever data you desire. It’s nicer then ajax as it’s a persistent open connection and you don’t have the overhead of http calls.
