[x3d-public] animated 3D multiuser. When? How?

[GL]

This is nice work you did. 

With XMLHttpRequest (or fetch) in javascript you could send/receive data via a server. 

However, be aware of the security risks involved, which is one of the reasons we have not converted our multiuser world to HTML5 to date.
