I want to build a service on my Linux VPS which listens to a certain UDP port and does something with the (text)message which is captured. This processing consists of appending the message to a locally stored txt-file and send it as http, with a post variable to another server.
I've looked into Nginx but as far is can see this server can only be bound to receive http packets. Although it is asynchronous.
What is the best way to achieve this listening-service on linux? And which has the capabilities to do the above mentioned processing?
