NFD

Where do we have the requirement of non-scriptable browsers?

The current page works on non-scriptable browsers.
There is neither a requirement to support these browsers, nor a decision not to support them.

I want to completely drop support for them, which means the page won't work at all in non-scriptable browsers at all.
This would allow a better page to be designed.

20141008 conference call decides that it's acceptable to require JavaScript and NDN-JS in the web browser.
The page must work at least on recent version of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

20141103 conference call decides that it's acceptable to require WebSocket in HTTP status page, and it's acceptable to use a different web server than Python (such as NodeJS, PHP, etc).

According to Lixia's suggestion, we should allow the status page to work (probably in reduced mode) without WebSocket connection.
One way to achieve this is to write out the nfd-status -x XML document under a certain URI.

Using NodeJS I implemented something that could be used to solve this.
It uses NDNjs and Express as Server.

The source is in https://github.com/joaopapereira/nfd-status.git

There you can find also the instructions to install it.

Is this what was expected from this requirement?

Answer to note-6:

Not exactly.

But joaopapereira/nfd-status looks like a useful project, and it deserves a place in NFD wiki or documentation.

What were you expecting? Just javascript that called an HTML to make the page interactive?

If I get a clearer idea on the requirements maybe I can adapt what I have or create something different. Or this is not something that you need for now?
