Using Linux C++ Server to interact with JavaScript

Currently, I have a client application built in Flash running on a server application developed in C++ for Linux. These two communicate via a TCP socket, with the server handling all game logic and client communication.

As part of deploying my application to a website, embedding the SWF file has been straightforward and is working as intended.

My goal now is to save statistical data about users by using Facebook login to uniquely identify them and store their information in a MySQL database.

The challenge I'm facing is how to transfer the Facebook user information from the JavaScript component of my server application (index.html using Apache) to the C++ portion of the server where the game logic and database management reside. This step is crucial for me to obtain a user's unique ID for database purposes.

Is it feasible to relay this information from JavaScript to the C++ application effectively?

Answer №1

If you want your C server to function as a webserver, it can accept connections using the HTTP protocol and then interact with Ajax to send data. It's important to ensure that your server includes the response header 

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: yourdomain.com
, replacing yourdomain.com with the domain where you host the HTML+JS page. This is necessary for allowing cross-site requests because the C server listens on a different port and possibly a different address than the webserver.
