A basic CGI script running under Apache sounds like it should work at least for prototyping. Try something like mod_perl and/or fastcgi if it's not fast enough by itself.
The clients don't really need to run a proper browser, just a telnet to port 80 of the server to dump a POST request with the data you want from them.

ic_mod_perl
IC_MOD_PERL(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation IC_MOD_PERL(1p)
NAME
ic_mod_perl -- Run Interchange entirely inside Apache/mod_perl
SYNOPSIS
# Add to Apache httpd.conf:
PerlRequire /usr/lib/interchange/bin/ic_mod_perl
PerlChildInitHandler Vend::ModPerl::child_start
PerlChildExitHandler Vend::ModPerl::child_end
<Location /ic>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Vend::ModPerl
PerlSendHeader Off
PerlSetupEnv On
</Location>
DESCRIPTION
Benefits
o Possibly better stability, especially on non-Linux platforms where Perl signals are often buggy.
o Use less memory total; don't have preforked Apache and Interchange daemons. Adds about 8 MB more to a typical Apache/mod_perl child
process, for a total of, say, 32 MB per Apache child process. But standalone Interchange usually has 3 processes: an Interchange child
process (~24 MB), an httpd child (~24 MB), and a link CGI (~1 MB), so it's actually a decent savings in total memory used.
o Speed (ranging from slightly faster to the same on heavy pages, to 10 hits/sec. faster on empty pages).
o Debugging -- delve into bowels with Apache::Status.
o Easier coexistence with other mod_perl code and libraries.
o Can coexist with standalone Interchange codebase without problems.
o Administrative ease (for sysadmins who know Apache but not Interchange).
Drawbacks
o Interchange runs as web server user, which in a standard system is usually apache or www, so you wouldn't want to share that Apache
installation with untrusted user CGIs, PHP, etc. as they could read any Interchange files, including DSNs, userdb, etc.
o Apache needs to be dedicated, or very closely watched because all mod_perl stuff runs in the same interpreter, and lots of mod_perl
code doesn't use Safe.
o How do you scale to multiple app servers in this configuration?
o Hardware or software port redirector
o Tux CGI front-end redirector like tlink
o Separate lightweight Apache (no modules) that proxies /ic requests
Ideal system setup
Use Tux to serve images & static content, and a dedicated Apache for Interchange running under the 'interch' user and with no UserDir, CGI,
PHP, etc. enabled and an empty DocRoot.
CAVEATS
o Watch out for differing Storable versions in sessions when switching between standalone and mod_perl runs!
BUGS
o Haven't yet implemented form/multipart submissions.
o Don't yet handle TolerateGet.
o Don't yet handle MiniVend 3 style GETs (mv_session_id;mv_arg;mv_pc)
o URIs must follow format "/ic/catalogname/page...", where /ic is customizable but must only be one "directory" deep (i.e., no slashes).
