How to pass data from server (CGI script) to client (html page)
Hi
I know how to pass data from client side (html file) to server using CGI script (POST method).
I also know how to re-create the html page from server side after receiving the data (using printf).
However I want to write static pages on client side (only the structure), and only to pass information (data) from server to client (which data to display in the form created statically).
1. How do I pass the data from the server side?
2. How does the client side receive the data from the server?
Thank you
Naama
p.s. I am working on embedded product with Linux as OS

upsstats.cgi

UPSSTATS.CGI(8) 						    NUT Manual							   UPSSTATS.CGI(8)

NAME

       upsstats.cgi - Web-based UPS status viewer

SYNOPSIS

       upsstats.cgi

	   Note
	   As a CGI program, this should be invoked through your web server. If you run it from the command line, it will either complain about
	   unauthorized access or spew a bunch of HTML at you.

DESCRIPTION

       upsstats.cgi uses template files to build web pages containing status information from UPS hardware. It can repeat sections of those
       template files to monitor several UPSes simultaneously, or focus on a single UPS.

       These templates can also include references to upsimage.cgi(8) for graphical displays of battery charge levels, voltage readings, and the
       UPS load.

ACCESS CONTROL

       upsstats will only talk to upsd(8) servers that have been defined in your hosts.conf(5). If it complains that "Access to that host is not
       authorized", check that file first.

TEMPLATES

       The web page that is displayed is actually a template containing commands to upsstats which are replaced by status information. The default
       file used for the overview is upsstats.html.

       When monitoring a single UPS, the file displayed is upsstats-single.html.

       The format of these files, including the possible commands, is documented in upsstats.html(5).

FILES

       hosts.conf(5), upsstats.html(5), upsstats-single.html

SEE ALSO

       upsimage.cgi(8)
