HttpLauncher

HttpLauncher is a Windows desktop application that runs in the background and launches arbitrary programs when it is called over its embedded HTTP server.

It is meant to provide easy integration between your Windows computers and 'web hooks' used by services like IFTT or Jeedom, e.g. for home automation scenarios.

Usage

1. Start HttpLauncher.
2. Configure the HTTP port and API key if necessary.
3. Click the Start button to start the HTTP server.
4. Define applications to run using the Add... button.
5. Launch applications by calling URLs of the form: http://<API key>@<host name>:<port>/launch?app=<name>
