Yes, the cgi script on the server side hooks up to the local (server) smart
card

No, I want of all the "html" stuff to be handled by the server

I am starting from existing applications (cross-platform - and in python
99% ) that work even through tcp-ip (sockets).

I am just trying to apply them to a web environement.

So prior to any user interaction with the page, I need some data exchange
between the plugin and the server (authentication).

So _if_ (I'm a web newbie) the server and the clien(plugin) could exchange
data through some form field, my prototype would be much further along.


Here is a small picture:
