How do i run an APP if my shared host does not support Java or Asp.net environment?

I am on a project that allows people to download wave files off a website.
And this website is on a paid shared host. I have checked with them, and they said Java and asp.net environment is NOT supported.

Does this essentially mean that my java or C# code that i have is useless? I have researched for quite a while and kind of feel i'm out of options here.

In a previous post i explained my aim:
"The thing is we want to incorporate stenography in the audio files (hiding a 6 digit user code in it)- so we can identify everyone of them.
The stenography has to be done on the fly, before a user downloads it. Its supposed to work as a security measure, something like image watermarking."

Any tips or directions would be much appreciated!

You do not say what environments your host does support. So I imagine it will be hard for anyone to give you an accurate answer.

If they are not an ASP.NET site, the odds are that they run Apache, in which case PHP is a likely option. With a bit of PHP, you can massage the files you serve.

Yes, my host uses Apache. I was already looking at PHP, or rather i started looking there at the initial stage. However, i did not seem to find a method to manipulate wave files at such a low level as data embedding?

Following on from our exchange of comments, I'm ready to call this an answer. There are PHP classes ready made for dealing with wav files. I googled "php wav file" and this[^] looks a good place to start. A couple of others on the first google page look useful too.

Cheers,
Peter
