There is Adobe AIR or Flash.  However, I don't think they open up the
networking abilities much further.

Another possibility would be to use mingw32 as a cross compiler and wine
as a test environment.

like a very good idea.

Using java in the browser doesn't sound great.

If I was dead set against doing this in a plain web browser, I would
probably go for a stand alone java program.
