This is a simple HTTP server implemented via .NET's HttpListener that translates certain HTTP requests into simulated keystrokes by using System.Windows.Forms.SendKey.

This was written to make it so that a smartphone could be used as a buzzer for playing the trivia game "You Don't Know Jack 4". The included HTML interface is designed for this purpose.

This provides the option for a password to be provided with the HTTP keystroke requests. This provides enough security to keep your roommates from messing with your game while you play, but not enough to keep an evil-doer on the internet from taking over your computer, especially since the password is sent in the clear.

Do NOT use a password that you would use for anything else.

Do NOT open the port that the server uses to anything other than your private network.

Running this application lets anyone who can reach your computer on a network essentially control your computer.

The application should be fine for use on a locked down, private LAN or wireless network where you know and trust all of the people who can connect to the network.

Compile with csc, run the executable in Administrator mode, and follow the instructions. Point your phone's browser at your machine, select the UI you want, and type in the password you want to use. Then start your game, pick your buzzer key on your phone (or do whatever other configuration needs doing), and play.

I recommend turning off auto-rotate on your phone, since the HTML interface does not handle landscape mode well.

If you need a different interface, e.g. for a different version of "You Don't Know Jack", then just add a new HTML file to the ui directory and restart the server.
