rest - How can I connect my web application so that it can receive validation request from Desktop app and send confirmation response back

Question

I have a website that allow clients to apply for service. After applying, the client gets VALIDATION TOKEN. Then a DESKTOP client is used to complete the transaction. A VALIDATION TOKEN is entered into DESKTOP client for validation. This should send VALIDATION REQUEST to the web server (where VALIDATION TOKEN is stored). The web server process the request and send RESPONSE back to DESKTOP application. In short, am looking for a way to send validation request and receive Validation response from web server .

I searched solutions for similar problems e.g. stack overflow questions 1. (The client (desktop app) pulls data...but I want the server (web app) to push data) and 2. (How I Retrieve Data from SQL Server Database hosted on a Web Server in my desktop application?)

The desktop client have no Internet connection. So, http requests may not be a solution. Also the DESKTOP client should make the request to pull data from the web server not the other way. I appreciate any help and recommendations.
