Chimera: Incoming Connections

Chimera can listen on a port and receive data from another program. Set the X resource Chimera.inPort to a valid port to tell chimera to list on a socket. Send the information in the form of a HTTP request. The first line is currently ignored. To force chimera to load a document send the URI field in the request. For example, the request PUT / HTTP/1.0 URI: http://www.unlv.edu/ will cause chimera to load and display the URL. You can also send arbitrary data. You should send the Content-type and Content-length fields so that chimera will know what to do with the data. You can use all of the MIME fields that chimera understands in your request to accomplish your goal. Good luck.

That's about it. This is a lame explanation but this capability is still evolving.
