AJAX + CGI approach

  1. A static .html page (either stats_basic.html or stats_bootstrap.html) is sent to the client
  2. As soon as the page is loaded into the browser, a GET request is sent to the server and ajax_stats.py is executed
  3. The server responds with a JSON object containing statistics about the system
  4. Whenever the refresh button is pressed these last two steps are repeated. If auto-refresh-checkbox is checked, last two steps are repeated at regular intervals.
