I have a Windows executable, XAMPP, and ngrok. On the receiving end of my makeshift server, I would like my client(s) to be able to click a link that would open the before mentioned executable on my side, and stream the image to my user(s).
I would like if some user input could get through, as arrow keys & space bar, and I'm willing to do this by whatever means possible. Thank you!

You could look into CGI which provides a way for a webserver to interact with an executable via standard input and output. There is also a stack overflow answer detailing what CGI is. For user input, the CGI can pass data both ways, so it should be capable of what you are trying to achieve.

  • How would I use this to embed, say, [Blender](https://www.blender.org/) onto a client's browser? – Odog8 Mar 10 '19 at 00:05
  • ah this is rather difficult as blender doesn't use standard input not to mention every client would need a separate instance of blender, I do not think what you are trying to do is practical, sorry I can't be of more help – TheRealOrange Mar 10 '19 at 00:11
  • What about, like a streaming client for me so that it opens on my server, displays it on my computer, and has input through AHK(AutoHotKey) or something? – Odog8 Mar 13 '19 at 00:11
