'Making web server run scripts
I'm sure a 100 people asked this before but I couldn't find the right key words to google it.
Simply put: How do I make a web client send information to the web server the right way?
I have a simple website set up with apache 2 on a raspberry with ubuntu. Something very basic. I'd like to have a button on my website that makes my server run a script (I wrote that script in c++ but I don't care if I have to translate it). One solution is using JS client-side to send a message to my server on a specific port (say 50000), and having the server listen on that port with a custom listener.
That works fine, but I'm sure there is a right way to do this. How should I do this so that people won't be pissed by my architecture too much? (+using other ports than 80 and 443 on browser may not work if the client blocks other ports)
