I've tested that method and it works.
The only problem is : as I can't test the parameter file on the server from

the client-side more than once every minute (or I'll take the risk to
overload the server), there's always a lag between the launch of the
server script (and update of the parameter file) and the client reaction...

I'd really like to reduce the lag as much as possible...

Thanks anyway,
JB
