HTML Port for Socket Communication (How to use Apache)

[Retto]

Greetings

I searched alot but i did not find the right page for my request, so i will try it here:

I try to establish a commuication between a Client and a Server Application (both written in C++ with SDL). I can't use any other Port than the HTML Port because of a Firewall between both Applications that blocks all accesses instead of HTML.
My question is, how to set-up an Apache Server to use it as "tunnel" to get my Data from Client to Server and the opposite way.

Thanks for the Help

Why set up an apache server? If you don't already have anything running on port 80, just use that port for your communication. You don't have to run a webserver on port 80, you can run whatever type of server you want.

Actually the Problem is, that the Server is running a Apache because it also hosts other Webpages. Otherwise your idea would be good...

Make the server end behave like a CGI?

Yes...if you have more detail how to do it with a CGI Script
