Sure. You basically just did it. Essentially no different from the example I 
gave you. Only thing you probably have to do is mangling  whatever you read 
frm the file into a list of key:value pair return values (or just one single 
key:value pair in "narrative" format.

Only limitation: if the ifap frontend requires user interaction, you cannot 
use the API via XML-RPC or other remote procedure call, unless you forward 
the ifap display in a VNC like manner.
