Well, yes. You'll have to choose between using Firebreath, which can help you a lot by abstracting some of the NPAPI, or start from scratch and use colonel panic's tutorials.

Firebreath
Mozilla NPAPI documentation (the most complete out there)
Colonel Panic tutorials

Be prepared to have some deep work to understand how plugins work!

Look particularly at FireBreaths' HTTPService library; it's mostly undocumented and not widely used, but it is a HTTP server that runs inside a FireBreath (and thus NPAPI) plugin.

Nice answer, I didn't know about Colonel Panic yet. Funny name too ;)
