I've been written Web applications using fcl-web for a while... this
isn't my problem.

I can't. For security reasons I need to have an app installed on client.
Did you see my email before, about digital signature? That is one of
these features...

ActiveX works but as you said, all these are deprecated...

I will take a look on NativeMessaging:
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/nativeMessaging

Another option, that I thought, is make an app that is a local web
server after the user has installed.
The web real app could make requests to http//localhost and have a
communication between them.
