Direct request to ABRT

[iref]

I was thinking about rewriting ProblemDataServer, so that it does not requires unix socket for sending ProblemData to ABRT server, but rather send http request directly to ABRT. This would allow usage of library in apps that don't run on other operating systems.

Is it possible or ABRT requires to send ProblemData through unix socket?

ABRT deamon does not listen on any network interface, thus only unix socket is available. Rewriting abrt daemon into something which could be allowed to listen a network port would be really difficult as network services have higher security requirements.
