QLocalSocket can be used to connect to the local socket on windows too: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qlocalsocket.html
I used basic python socket library to reduce the overhead (no need to import Qt), but unfortunately the implementation is Linux specific. Using local sockets is preferred for scenarios like this, it's more secure than using TCP sockets (and subsequently things like http). QLocalSocket also plays nice with Qt event loop (no threads or messy stuff like that). On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 6:34 PM, Edward K.
