Research direction

Start by reviewing how LiveSplit.Server currently receives scripting commands and how the existing websocket version starts and controls the server. Determine the scope for loading LSS files from URLs or files and autostarting the server, then verify that scripts can issue those commands without restarting or interfering with another LiveSplit window.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'm working on autosplitting for a game that would require me to constantly change LSS files based on what i'm doing in said game.

I'd love to be able to send a command to load an LSS file specifically from a URL or File. I can already do this through scripting but i'd have to restart the server every time (and i'd assume I'd have to manually close out the other livesplit window to prevent it from interfearing).

I know someone made a websocket version that can be auto-started as well (but it doesn't work with my scripts to send commands to it). I'd love to have these implemented if possible.
