Nut upsdev - Feb 2013 - Question for Dev's on NUT's upsstats.cgi

Hey guys,

  New user to NUT and was playing with the upsstats.cgi.

On my website, I have everything going through a wrapper script that frames the
pages.

So my web files are actually truncated since the wrapper installs all my headers
for me.

When using the upsstats.cgi, it works fine embedding it into my pages and then
editing the .html template EXCEPT, I can't get rid of:

Content-type: text/html
Pragma: no-cache

Which are output by the cgi binary.

Since everything else is pretty much controllable, I would think this would be
too - but it's not.

Would it be a huge issue to make those items template controlled? (I'm
asking the dev's since I would guess it would need to start there.)

I'm not sure if I'd call this a "bug" -- but let me know if
I'm crazy.

Thanks,

  -Ben

If it didn't output those headers, it wouldn't be a CGI binary :-)

I guess all of the schemes I have seen for embedding the output from a script
into a web page have allowed the headers to be present (server-side, or
embedding a frame client-side).

How do you propose that we address this?
