NAME
apid example usage
DESCRIPTION
This is a simple API interface to a hosts processes. It uses apid and ps. It consits of two parts, the apid uri map ps.pm and a client interface index.html which uses Jquery to access the interface.
USAGE
Once apid is installed, start the server like this:
cd sample/
apid -c ps.conf -f startThen point your browser to http://localhost:8080/. The uri / will be served with the mentioned index.html. A process listing should appear immediately. You can click on a process to see more details and you can search for processes.
INTERNALS
The uri map uses authentication for some uris (basic authentication), which is transparent if you access it via index.html. The jquery script authenticates to the api with the first request. Since apid returns a session cookie, subsequent requests don't require additional measures.
SECURITY
Please don't run this example on an internet facing server. It displays all processes which is dangerous if third parties can view them.
