Good, then no need to consider d-bus. Is there something like IPC sockets on Windows? I guess we could look how wx does it, or maybe the XML-RPC library will already know what to do. Windows has named pipes, maybe that's the best analogue. I don't think I want to invent my own RPC protocol, I want to use an existing standard. PHP, Java, Python or anything will be able to talk to the server directly the same way the command line commands do. I'm going to start reading on XML-RPC. It's coming up in searches as the most widely used protocol and widely supported. PHP includes it in its standard libraries.
