trying to implement something like this in an environment that's a)
stateless, b) is not instantaneous in its response, and c) has multiple
points of failure is a mission of failure. the http protocol was never
designed for this sort of instant gratification.

sounds to me like you need to step back from the problem and find a new
approach (see above for why).

"beast" -- that's a good name for it. anytime you venture away from the
browser basics you're asking for incompatibility. somewhere i read about an
implementation for mac/ie that allowed communication between an activex
control and javascript using apple events of all things as the go between.
[some time later after racking my brain and searching the web]
here's the press release with the relative info:

however, after some digging it appears that this won't allow synchronous
communication, but rather asynchronous.
