Send ratings to online System

Question

Hi!
I'm a webdeveloper.
Till now I had no contact w Bridge but I have a client who is photograher.
I'm designing a tool for him to administrate his orders etc..
We are looking for a solution to get rated images into my online tool.
What I'm thinking of is to use the rating function of Bridge.
It should work like that:
He is selecting images using the rating function.
Perfect would be if bridge can call a weblink when rating every image.
The Link should contain the image data as variables, like that:
http://pos.domain.com?order=[dirname]&file=[filename]&rating=[rating]
dirname = Name of directory
filename = Name of rated image
rating = Rating
Would be thankful for any input.
Cheers Philipp

I have nothing to test this with, but worth a try. Should send details of selected documents. "Send Ratings" command will be in the right click menu.
#target bridge
   if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) { 
sendRating = new MenuElement("command", "Send Ratings", "at the end of Thumbnail");
sendRating.onSelect = function () {
   sendData();
function sendData(){
var sels = app.document.selections; 
for (var i = 0; i < sels.length; i++){
var md = sels[i].synchronousMetadata;
    md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/"
httpGet("http://pos.domain.com?order=["+sels[i].spec +"]&file=["+sels[i].name +"]&rating=[" +md.Rating+"]");
function httpGet(url, port){
   if(url.substr(0,7)=="http://") url=url.substr(7); // removing http:// from domain
   if(!port) port=80; // set to default port if missing
   var domain=url.split("/")[0]+":"+port;
   var call="GET ";
   if(url.indexOf("/")<0){
      call+="/";
   }else{
      call+=url.substr(url.indexOf("/"));
   call+=" HTTP/1.0\n\n";
   var reply = new String();
   var conn = new Socket();
   if (conn.open (domain)) {
      conn.write (call);
      reply = String(conn.read(999999));
      reply = reply.substr(reply.indexOf("\n\n")+2); // Removing header
      conn.close();
   }else{
      alert("CONNECTION TO DATABASE FAILED");
      reply = "";
   return reply;
