Can i get information from a html page into ue4?

That’s interesting, and you sound like you know your stuff! Thanks. I thought VaRest was the right route but as i’m no expert on these matter, i wasn’t sure if i was heading down the wrong path or not. What i don’t understand is that the VaRest examples all show them connecting to a php file. Can i not call these requests from inside the index.html file? I basically just want to set up a simple test that is a html file with a few buttons where by Unreal will listen for the button being pressed and receive a print string of the message.
Am i right to think this can be done? Also i’m testing this using a simple node.js server looking to a localhost connection on port 8000. Is that why i might be running into problems receiving a message back?
Any help would be seriously appreciated.
