Which end are you trying to connect to. The dashboard is served from and connects back to the server. I guess you could pretend to be another client and connect to the server and try to respond like a dashboard but errr. Not sur I get it.

Yes, that's exactly what I want to do, I want to get the existing nodes back via an interface and then control them. I need all of this for an app.

Do you need the Dashboard features? If not, then uibuilder might be easier to do this with.
