I have found some ways to start with, but most of them seem to be a bit out of date. I'd like to have some JavaScript intensive tasks running with Node.js, outside Max, so I could do some requests and retrieve data to and from some Node.js scripts. I need a minimal working example. Suggestions about other approaches are highly appreciated.

Take a look at node osc if you haven't already. That works well.

Also check out the XMLHttpRequest tab of the maxurl object.

Thank you very much, Andrew. Your hint led me to a quite good solution. I will post my solution as soon as I test and clean my code.

I've tried to do a minimal example. After a node server is activated, a value can be sent from Max to an URL via maxurl, and the node computation is subsequently loaded by the patch in json format. Further suggestions for optimization are highly appreciated.
