Hi..is this wonderful program able to function on a website? I'd like to put an ahk script on my website...how would i go about doing this?

What should it do? Work as a CGI ?

If you want to have hotkeys that work for anyone that loads your webpage, you'll have to use javascript to write that.

Or you could just offer a link to your script and let people download it. I'm not sure I understand the question.

Also, see here http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=923

Is that possbile? How can it be done?

Just like any other CGI script I'd imagine. You call the script (or compiled exe) from your webserver.

I suspect mouse and screen comands would act on the currently logged in desktop of the server.

I believe the query string will be available in the evironment variables.

So if you set your webserver to associate .ahk files with the ahk exe, then put a file test.ahk in the cgi-bin folder, when someone runs it remotely, it would execute an action on your local machine. This could be really handy for remote control server-management applications! :D

It works, indeed not directly (tested with Abyss Web Server).
You can use perl to transfer the data to the ahk script (3 perl lines) - e.g into a file that will be read by ahk. After finishing the ahk script perl reads the result data (again 3 perl lines) and sends them back, html formatted.
