Google usually helps me find these types of questions, but nothing is turning up. So I thought I'd throw this question out.

I need to get a UDP packet to HTTP (on my shared webhost) UPD because a small microcontroller (low cost sensor) generates the packet. To HTTP because my webhost doesn't allow socket connections beside port 80.

I'm using a home server right now to catch the UDP packet and then pass along the data to the webhost over HTTP. But can't use that long term.. Any web service available for this, or some tips?

Trying to keep things cheap and simple for this side project.
