Robin,

This should be possible with a fairly short Custom Script.  Try 
something like this:  (and select "run at the end of loggin process"):


var url = "http://mylogprog.xxx?";
url += "&title=" + sloggerGetVar("title");
url += "&url=" + sloggerGetVar("url");
url = encodeURI(url);
// alert(url);

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open('GET', url, true);
req.send(null);


The first, construct the URL you want with sloggerGetVar() and 
encodeURI().  Uncomment the 'alert' call to debug.  To make the request, 
you can use XMLHttpRequest.  I think the above should basically work, 
but I haven't tried this.

Handling the GET responses would be more complicated.  See,

good luck,
Ken
