Konqueror updates to local files / executing local binaries


One of Konqueror's unique features is that i can name a local process as the action in a form. When i submit that form, the local process is executed. Very helpful for certain offline tasks.

What would make it even better is if i could find a way to pass some data to that local process from the html page. This could be the content of a hidden input item, etc.

Alternatively, if there is a way for Konqueror to create or update a local file with data from the html page, that would acheive the same end.

My solution has come through Konqueror's cgi protocol. Of particular help was this web page:
