Until now i controlled the volume of my AV receiver with **Apple Aluminium Remote** , **iRed2** and **IRTRans** Ethernet via applescript in the AppleRemote.xml.  
  
  
  
See this thread for more info:

I’d like to get rid of the applescript and use python and HTTP API.  
  
I can control the IRTrans Modul by calling an URL like this:

```auto

http://10.0.5.1/send.htm?remote=sony-main&command=volup

```

  
  
\*\*What's the best way to run this in the AppleRemote.xml and how?\*\*  
Thanks!

```

  
into a Remote.xml?\*\*
