Single request/response call to FMS

Right now I have a chat application built using FMS. My SSAS is logging in and tracking connected users. The client has now requested for there to be an indicator on their webpage informing viewers how many people are currently logged into the chat. Basically I just need to make a little widget that makes a single call to the application and get a return value, the old fashioned request/response way -- essentially like remoting. I could always just connect and then disconnect as soon as I get a response, but I'd like to know if there's a better way of doing this.

Thanks.

What I'm thinking is that you would have a server side application server (like php or asp) make the request of the FMS admin service. That way, you don't expose anything to the client.

Alternately, you could have each individual app instance report to an http server app (of course, you'd need to rework your FMS app a bit for that).

AFAIK, there's no way to get data from an FMS app instance without a netconnection.

What you could do is use the admin service http API to get the stats for each app instance (which would at least give you the number of connected clients)

Interesting. Well, all I need is number of connected clients, but how would I do this without giving the whole world admin access?
