Reading external data files

[Kaldor]

let's see then. Sounds like I may be able to read into game an XML file with the data. I can always create the file and save it outside of the database, so that's not a problem.

By html post I mean host headers, like if I have a field in a window that is a search and I enter "Bill", can I pass that to my page as the variable the page requires for the search. Replacing the variable with the search string. Like http://foo.bar/search?guardname=Bill

So, for example in a new window, I enter Bill and press Go in game, it pulls up the HTML window with all of my results based on that Bill variable. Possible?

Or is the xml filterable at all, so let's say I have a dropdown that has Nettleville and press go, can I get just the guards in Nettleville.

Sorry for all the strange questions, I just want to see if there is any way to do what I want outside of the HTML window since links aren't supported there.
