[Xymon] interacting with a modern browser for monitoring

[Ralph Mitchell]

I used to do that kind of thing about 8 years ago.  I used bash scripts and
curl to post to the servers I was watching.  There's an extension for
Firefox called LiveHTTPHeaders that does a pretty good job of capturing
what gets sent so you can replicate it.  The tricky part is processing
anything that uses javascript in the browser.

I never had to deal with any kind of JSON or REST or whatever protocols,
though...
