I've worked with a deprecated system, which doesn't uses REST/SOAP/similar API interface, but it fucking used FTP. You uploaded a text file with a instruction, and every 30 minutes the server parses the files and then deletes them. Trust me, this is the biggest bullshit I've ever seen in my life.
As far as I know, this mess is still used.
Edit: The server created a result.txt after it deleted the instruction, you had to download it yourself with FTP. -

Java applets.
Popup windows.
Forms implemented by application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST
XML part of XmlHttpRequest
Portals (that was a nonsense)
JSP
GWT
Struts
