Interacting with IntelliJ through Chrome (Plugin Dev)
Note: I realized after the fact that this thread would have been more suitable for the "Open API and Plugin Development" forum. I can't seem to find a way to move it there. My apologies.
Hello
Through IntelliJ UE 14, I open up an HTML file in a browser, which takes me to a page like http://localhost:63342/RFTests/SmokeTest.html . I'm wondering if IntelliJ provides any mechanism through which a Chrome extension (or any browser plugin,) could interact with it (possibly through the port in the opened URL)? I have developed an IntelliJ plugin, and it would be great if I could pass in some contextual information from a right-click in Chrome to this plugin to perform some task.
Is this possible?
If so, can someone point me to more detailed documentation (for the IntelliJ-side of things.)
Thanks,
-- Cam
Edit: Clarified that I developed an IntelliJ plugin (as opposed to a Chrome extension.)

Actually, I'm presuming my IntelliJ plugin could open its own port. The Chrome extension could then communicate with it over this port to kick off some task.
Hello. Please see https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/Remote+communication.
Your Chrome extension could communicate using websocket or http. As far I understood you, I recommend you http.
1) Create your implementation of https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/master/platform/built-in-server-api/src/org/jetbrains/ide/HttpRequestHandler.java (it is extension point).
2) From your chrome extension perform request using XMLHttpRequest (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest).
