Retrieve variable on core from hosted web server

[lawless]

I have gotten it to work over the cloud successfully. I am looking for the ability to embed a webserver on the core and then access it via local LAN w/o it being connected to the internet and passing it a string where it can be used on the core.

I have also found this example that seems to be in the right direction but definitely far over my head...

Spark-web-embd-rest-json

Hi, This project implement a Http server on Sparkcore itself (Embedded). Once compiled into the Web IDE, the server will be available at http://IP-SPARKCORE (port 80 by default). RESTFull URL : http://IP-Sparkcore/D0/on|off Digital JSON URL : http://IP-Sparkcore/json/dig/ Return : {“TS”:20140802091229,“D0”:0,“D1”:0,“D2”:0,“D3”:0,“D4”:0,“D5”:0,“D6”:0,“D7”:1} Analog JSON URL : http://IP-Sparkcore/json/ana/ Return : {“TS”:20140802091252,“A0”:2127,“A1”:2117,“A2”:2097,“A3”:2098,“A4”:2107,“A5”:2…

This seems to be far more advanced then what I need. Basically just looking to embed a web server on the core and pass the embedded web server a string it can use as a variable on the core.
