A-ha!  That's what I wanted - many thanks!  

two things:

1 Are you planning to add more commands?  (eg, playlist switching etc)
2 Playback/Pause doesn't work here.

I knocked up a little player page, used and iframe to capture the output (holds the player in the outer page that way).  It's very easy to use and does exactly what I want.  thanks again!

The source code is out there - perhaps someone is interested?

The truth is out there as well. The truth in this case is that your server denies access to foo_write_http.zip (at least for me ).

Hint: Use charset=utf-8 in Content-Type...

Posted by Skates:
brikk any chance of being able to format the HTML page that is displayed?

I choose to use the iso/ansi standard because of the many terminals that use it. If there is a strong need for utf-8 I could add an option to switch between the two.

IMHO remote control with Lirc (> WinLirc) protocol would be best. You could control foo using any lirc client (that would be Girder plugin in my case).
From remote computer and from infrared remote

I've put together a plug-in which I hope the posters in this thread will find useful. It's called HTTP Writer. It shows the info of the current song playing, with your personal format string through a HTTP server listening on port 4800. (Users of httpQ will find this plug-in quite familiar)

At the same time I added a simple remote control function that allows you to run commands like Playback/Random for instance. For more info visit the plugin homepage or get it right away.

it is not stable.

in  the foobar_hta,you can refresh or do any action of the right click menu,it will play the next item or previous.

and if we try to connect to the server all the time with wrong password,it will success at last!!

and could you make an explain of the full command!!

<?
function tnet($cmd) {
  $fp = fsockopen ("192.168.1.100", 3333, $errno, $errstr, 10);
  if(!$fp) {
         echo "Connection failed\n";
         exit();
  }else{
         echo "<b>Connected</b>\n<br>";
         echo ". ".fgets($fp, 128)."<br>\n";
         echo ". ".fgets($fp, 128)."<br>\n";
         echo ". ".fgets($fp, 128)."<br>\n";
         echo ". ".fgets($fp, 128)."<br>\n";
         echo ". ".fgets($fp, 128)."<br>\n";
         fputs ($fp, "$cmd\r\n");
         fputs ($fp, "$cmd\r");
         echo "<br><b>Command Sent:</b> $cmd <br>\n";
         echo ". ".fgets($fp, 128)."<br>\n";
  }
  fclose ($fp);
}
tnet($cmd);
?>

One problem with foo_http_write. I use it to generate XML info and writer doesn't translate & as & etc. Could somebody correct it?

In what way is it not stable? Could you give me a detailed description of how you get past the password protection, because I cannot repeat this. I do not understand what you mean by a full explanation of the command, so I cannot give you a better explanation than there is on the page as of now

Since the HTA application was developed by Ruzz, I will let him answer the questions that concern it.

it means all the command that can use in the http writer.

I put together this little control server that works as a plugin for foobar2000. Compiled against the 0.7 SDK. No documentation for it other than the help command;p but you will figure it out!
