This code may be useful in situations where a companion computer is connected to the ArduPilot board and is able to run mavproxy with an output on the IP and port as defined in the runtime arguments.

this uses a separate http request per GPS fix? Seems an odd way to get GPS in! What you say "external" GPS, you mean one that is connected to the companion computer?

Correct, I am leveraging a GET request to the companion computer which contains the external GPS info. The companion then processes what it received in GET and then uses pymavlink to communicate. The system works very well in real life testing and so I wanted to share here with others.

@stryngs have you got a flight log of using this?
I would expect a lot of timing jitter, and poor EKF performance
