Is that possible?
I'm writing a web-admin interface for a network-system. I need to listen to a specific UDP port and show it in browser. Can I do that in javascript? Also; any other ideas are welcomed.
early-edit: Here's another idea: I have php and perl support at server-side. JS can call a php script to start listening, which will also call a perl script, which has an endless listener loop and collects the received messages into a sink variable. In theory; JS will be polling a PHP script every 2 seconds, get the sink variable and show it on browser/html. But; how can a php script reach/read that sink variable? And, how or when will the perl script stop? For the first part, using a file as a sink is a terrible idea; I'll be receiving 10 string messages per second and also reading and then clearing file contents every 2 seconds. Not to mention the file lock mechanisms... For the second part: i should put timeout somewhere but; where?

edit2: Why do I want to listen for UDP messages on a specific port and show it on browser: The project I'm working on has some special sensors activated by some bussiness-specific-keys, these sensor devices are network-enabled and I have programmed them to send a UDP network broadcast message containing biz-key-info whenever they sense something. There are lots of these devices on same network, and the web-admin interface should have a page where user can see what is happening in real-time or almost-real-time (~5 second delay is acceptable, that is why I had the poll-every-2seconds idea at my early-edit).
