The function is TextMate.system(shell_cmd, handler) -- but there is a  
caveat, this does *not* work for files retrieved over http (for  
security reasons). For more info see http://macromates.com/textmate/ 
manual/commands#html_output

So this complicates things, i.e. the TextMate command would need to  
curl the page from the server, and cat that to stdout, so that it can  
stay on the internal TM url scheme, where shell commands can be  
executed.

How feasible this is, depends on how complex the customization page 
(s) are. I.e. if it’s just a single page, it should not be a problem  
nor add any real complexity, as the command would simply be:

     curl -s «your server page»
