title: Calling a rest api located on the remote client machine from my .Net web app?
body: <p>I hope this isn't just a cross domain issue, I don't have much experience with AJAX calling restful API's.</p>
  
  <p>I need to call a restful api running on the user's pc for local usb hardware from my corp .Net web app.  I have locations that have usb hardware that have locally installed web servers for a rest API to access the hardware.  I need to make the request from the corp web app to pass detailed identification information to the vendors gateway and wait for the response from the hardware.</p>
  
  <p>Also, the remote offices are not on a corporate vpn, the call has to be from the asp web app running on the corp domain.</p>
  
  <p>The vendor only has this interface and only have winform examples for local access.  They won't have an enterprise IP solution for another year.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for any answers...I am hoping this is possible.</p>
