Sweex website structure notes.

On the LAN typing 192.168.0.3 in a browser window brings up this page var/www/index.html which resides on the USB memory stick

The hyperlinks on this page could link to other standard passive web pages on the memory stick but in this case they link to active pages of structure similar to var/www/cgi-bin/rs232ws/index.cgi

index.cgi loads var/www/rs232ws/start.html as the top of the displayed page and the links on that page all re-invoke index.cgi and pass it a string..

index.cgi then runs linux shell scripts that may themseves run c code programs.

index.cgi then reloads it's partner page start.html and then adds text that is the result of actions by the scripts.Finally index.cgi adds the necessary html code to close start.html properly
A click on another link reloads the page again - and so on.

(it is a historical accident that there are two rs232ws folders var/www/rs232ws and var/www/cgi-bin/rs232ws)
