title: seeing a web server over a socket . . .
body: <p>Currently I support a client with the following architecture, used in an industrial manufacturing process:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>They have a Windows program running on a PC that controls the industrial machinery.</p></li>
  <li><p>They have a proprietary app (which I maintain for them) running on an Android device (basically a phone) which interfaces wirelessly with the PC software over a TCP socket, so it can remotely control those industrial processes.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>What the client wants now is a web server running on the PC and a web browser built into the app to control some additional processes not controlled from his Windows program.  </p>
  
  <p>I've set up a WAMP server on the PC and a sample web page, which I can see on any browser on the PC as "localhost".    I know how to add a web browser View to the Android app via a WebView class.    </p>
  
  <p>But I <strong>don't know</strong> how to make the browser on the phone see the WAMP server on the PC via the TCP connection.   How do I hook those two things up?   </p>
