You can find an example in the Pilot SDK on how to use their Exchange
Manager. The Exchange Manager is a wrapper over IrOBEX. Its API is general
and could be used over HTTP, FTP etc as well, but right now it only
supports IrOBEX.

Irdadump is not a good start! Then you would have to implement your own
IrDA stack. To use the Linux IrDA stack, you should use the sockets API
(AF_IRDA). But in your case you should probably just use IrOBEX instead.
